Food is inventive and delicious . It has a bistro vibe and is very cosy. Service was attentive but since the space is small it felt a bit rushed. The shared plates are generous. Don’t miss the oven fired bread with tapenade and the arancini.

This smaller version of Montesacro Pinseria is great for many reasons, including location, availability and friendly service. The food is consistently delicious-seasonal salads, pastas and pinsas are amazing. Server Erin was smart (we ordered the wrong wine & she kindly gave us a taste before we ended up with sparkling), friendly, and paced our courses perfectly. Can’t wait to return!
