Food Comments: "I just want to throw up and eat again." -Mark
"Crust crisp enough to dive off of, delicious!" -Frank
Some of the pizzas were fairly salty due to the addition of salty cheeses or olives.
The sauce and main cheese flavors act as a prevalent "pedal tone." -Will
Not at all greasy, except for the Roasted Pie which should be.
Crust held up well on all pies except the Ala Reale due to the immense amount of toppings.
"Damn good Tiramisu!" -Melanie "The real deal." -Tamara

Service/Atmosphere Comments: Fancy/cheesey Italian bistro decor, cloth napkins, server uniforms.
Intimate and friendly service, Suzanne was great! Took our suggestion for pitchers straight to the owner's ear.
