This is THE REAL ITALIAN DEAL !! folks. Service somewhat lacking at times. Food prepared well , $$$ are deserved, waiting can be an eternity at times (getting seated and getting your requests).
Serves Southern Italian, small dishes, and traditional Naples style pizza . Owner/Chef James Lewis is a 2013 James Beard nominee for Best Chefs in America.
If the restaurant wants to be Italian authentic they should not put garlic on the sauces. They do it here and it damages the experience.
Authentic wood-fired Italian brick oven . Pizza made to true italian specs. Great wine selection compliments pizza and food.
quick service and excellent food. ????????
The atmosphere and the authentic food are awesome.
Awesome pizza . Good wine selection .
Evrything is delicious. If meatballs are on the menu, you will not be disappointed.
I expect to pay $$ for good food - fresh ingredients & a dining experience. What I didn't expect was the smell of guanciale wafting in the air- it reeked of wet dog. Too bad, really, otherwise yummy.
Sit up at the bar and ask Angel to make you something special. You won't be disappointed.
The pizza is delicious!
A little pricy but it is delicious.
If you order pasta , order a salad too :P
No reservations taken. Less than nice hostess , but the food is wonderful.
Laura Lee cocktail is the best.
