This is hands down the best pizza I’ve had in US. The service was very good and quick too. We were a party of 4 and all wiped our plates clean. We were going to see Hamilton at Orpheum afterwards and didn’t have time to try the deserts, but I have no doubt that it would’ve been great too. It’s a cozy eclectic restaurant with authentic food and great service. Will definitely visit again.

Everything we had was excellent. The risottos and pastas were delicious. Burrata starter was also delicious. The house made pear tart for dessert was amazing. Service was excellent. The only issue is the noise level inside on busy nights - it's quite deafening. The later it gets the less noise there is as people leave.
