locale molto bello, curato e silenzioso. il menù non offre molte opzioni, ma
si capisce che puntano sulla qualità. le pizze sono veramente buone, all'altezza della migliore tradizione italiana. il servizio è stato un po' lento ma giustificabile per l'ora di punta.. assolutamente da consigliare, bravi !

Echoing poor service - effectively one or two waiters & if you aren't their favorite table forget it. Waiter went behind the bar to start pouring shots for friends. Food was good though.

My girlfriend & I came in, & Zoya served us. She was phenomenal. I am not one to leave reviews, but this was necessary. We were so tired from travel & had such decision fatigue, that Zoya's guidance on the menu & drinks was unreal. She fully walked us through the options for the drinks we ordered, even offering nuanced suggestions where we had specific preferences. She was super attentive, & super charming - even while having a seemingly very large section (which I would also believe she was just supporting tables that weren't hers). We only just stumbled upon this place, but will definitely come back.

Amazing food. Service is terrible. Third time here-same terrible service. Seems like one waiter for entire restaurant. Not friendly either. Was told our server was the manager. Not sure how he landed that job! Unsure why I bother coming back. Perhaps its the awesome Caesar salad. Great food- & if you want to be ignored this is the perfect place for you.
