Went there last night ... nice enough joint, I guess they had a cold opening Monday night and opened officially Wednesday night.  I'm not an Italian restaurant kind of guy, so YMMV.  They did some solid work in there and renovated the space.  It had been a while since I had been in there, but it looks nice and they have a well-stocked draft selection in addition to the other bar drinks.  It was pretty well packed and the hostess was flustered a little.  Service was good for a 2nd night and it should improve as they work out the kinks.  The layout is a bit crowded, but there is a nice patio with 5-6 tables.

We had utica greens for an app and two coal-fired pizzas.  Either my wife and I have salty palates (which is possible) or the food was under salted a touch.  The dough in the pizza seemed to lack that little extra zip.  Greens were pretty good, but not spicy enough.  Someone at the table nearby complained about the pasta and the waiter explained that it was made fresh and cooked [I]al dente, [/I]so maybe the guy is just a philistine used to overcooked mush from Olive Garden.  I saw one other person return a plate.  Prices are very reasonable considering that it's Fayetteville and other restaurants seem to think that means an automatic 15-20% bump ([I]cough cough[/I], I'm looking at you Craftsman).
