A must stop! We enjoyed everything from the food to the service and our table. We opted for sitting outside and it was lovely. Bread—amazing, best arancini we’ve ever had, and the mains we ordered were so comforting and delicious. Loved our server but I can’t remember their name—they had an amazing smile though!

Let’s start with the pizza: over baked so we couldn’t enjoy the crust or appreciate the ingredients. The salad was one dimensional and I wouldn’t recommend it. But the dish that saved the entire experience was the sourdough cavatelli. The broccolini, garlic, Parmesan, and breadcrumbs combined flavor and texture to culinary perfection. The atmosphere had a nice neighborhood restaurant vibe. Our server was friendly in a doing her job kind of way. It didn’t feel genuine but she took care of us very well. Friends told us this was “the best pizza”. Unexpectedly, I wouldn’t even put it in my top 5.

Went for a birthday brunch with my siblings. The service was great and 100 percent recommend the margherita pizza here!
Everything was delicious!

OK, I’ve had a lot of pizza in my life and this is on my list of some of the best - definitely in the top three. I had the pepperoni because I was told it was the one they’re known for and it did not disappoint. Finally, somebody has realized how much pepperoni you really need on a pizza.!!
