At Bivio our passion is authentic Neapolitan pizza. Napoli... our love of the city, its cuisine, and in particular, its pizza is where our story began. We heard time and time again “It’s all about the dough.” True to Neapolitan tradition, and the passion of the pizzaioli, we construct our pizza using “00” flour from Naples, San Marzano DOP tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil, fresh basil, fior di latte or bufala mozzarella, and sea salt. Our dough is gently mixed using a 28 year old “lieveto madre” (natural yeast culture) then with intense heat is baked in our wood burning il forno. At Bivio all of our dishes are made with the freshest and highest quality ingredients.

The Ivy Inn Restaurant and Bar is the perfect place for a date night or celebratory dinner with your partner. Sit by the fireplace indoors and listen to the live piano player while you enjoy a meal of roasted rack of lamb or grilled veal chop served in a mushroom cognac cream sauce. During nice weather, sit out on the patio that is surrounded by greenery for privacy and dine on broiled Canadian salmon or the blackened Louisiana catfish served with a spicy tomato salsa. While the mood is intimate, children are welcome at the Ivy Inn and menu items for them include penne pasta with butter, three mini sliders or a pizzette.The Ivy Inn offers a global selection of both red and white wines. For those that are more adventurous, there are tasting options on the menu which present you with a sampling of three distinctly different wines.
