You can enjoy Italian or Greek fare here, so you’re sure to find something you’ll like. You can enjoy your meal, along with your favorite beer or wine, out on the patio. You might want to bring Fido’s water bowl so he doesn’t get thirsty. Just ask the fur-iendly staff to fill it up for you.

Acworth
