Feedback
Nestled in a vibrant downtown locale, this Italian restaurant captivates with its warm ambiance and friendly service. While some guests encountered slow service amid staffing challenges, the delightful wood-fired pizzas and authentic ingredients consistently shine. The intimate setting creates a perfect backdrop for date nights, albeit with occasional warmth due to limited air conditioning. Despite minor issues like portion sizes and slightly burnt crusts, the overall experience remains enchanting. Diners rave about the flavorful dishes and attentive staff, making it a compelling choice for anyone craving delicious Italian cuisine. Reservations are highly recommended to secure your table.
We ordered the pork meatballs and the pizza Bianca. The meatballs were ok the sauce tasted pretty much like something out of a jar. They were served piping hot out of the oven. The pizza was tasteless and disappointing. The cheese had no flavor at all. The arugula on top was fresh. The crust was very good. Service was good. Oddly, they were out of iced tea and had only one beer available. The atmosphere was seedy and dim. Can’t recommend this place.
Great service, very mediocre margherita pizza. They made the gf crust in house that i was super pumped for, but unfortunately it was just meh. Zero seasoning, barely any cheese and four tiny flakes of basil. Left so much to be desired.
The waitress was very friendly, but I was disappointed with the baked ricotta portion—it was too small for the $15 price and only came with a couple of cherry tomatoes and half a slice of eggplant. My Margherita pizza was just average, and the crust was a bit burnt around the edges, which took away from my overall experience. If you're looking for authentic Italian cuisine, you might want to consider other options.
The pizza here is some of the best I've had in a long time. I would have given it 5 stars, but I was sweating quite a bit! Did they even have the air conditioning on?
