You must try one of their grilled pizzas . They invented it! Love their many pastas , spicy clams Al Forno app, and Caesar salad chopped. All their to order desserts are amazing!

Dirty steak . Don't think about the price & don't think twice about ordering it. Beautifully done with a sauce that is currently making my mouth water as I'm recalling this delicious experience.

Elyse Estrada

Probably one of the best Caesar salads I've ever had! Pastas were delicious. Since you have to order dessert with your entree you'll need to save room or take a couple doggy bags.

Lee Hoffman

Absolutely incredible. The pepperoni pizza (add spicy ) one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had. The baked pasta one of the best vodka sauce pastas I’ve ever had. Meatballs and gnocchi also excellent.

Stephanie W

Best pizza I’ve ever had. And I’ve had A LOT. Skip the Caesar salad . The clams al forno lived up to the hype - divine. Bread gnocchi was great, but the pizza and clams were the standouts.

Coco Lauren

Their 5 cheese baked pasta and their pizza is amazing. The atmosphere is a little stuffy for my taste, but worth it for the food.

Kyle Bye

Went here for Valentine's Day. Romantic and classy . Get the handmade beef short rib ravioli or splurge on the dirty steak . Both are delicious!

Ghada Aj

Best Italian food is at this place.. Pesto pizza and the caesar salad is unbelievably delicious.. Fried risotto is great. Basically everything in the menu is superb????????

Yueyue Guo

Hostess is incompetent and even underestimates your wait time, while many tables sit empty. But if you brave the wait, go for the calamari pizza and duck legs

Ngoc Nguyen

I had the Duck with Kumquat Marmalade . It was delicious! Definitely should try the cookie pallet for desert if you go in a big group, they are heaven :)

Mike Nickerson

Go with friends and get the clams al forno , the sauce is delicious. Also try the Spicy Pizza and Fried Cod with avocado spread ...yum. Food is quality and fresh.

Grilled pizza with Tuscan kale pesto is one of a kind. Beets and frites was light on the beets but an interesting mix

Gracie

Lasagna all the way! The sausage gnocchi was pretty amazing too. Great service!

The Daily Meal

Absolute musts: Grilled pizza (they invented it!), anything featuring sweet, succulent duck and waiting at least an hour for a table (no reservations here). Worth every second. Read more
