• Peruse the thoughtful wine list, while settling on pizza topped with Mascarpone, sausage, mozzarella and herbs or string-cut black spaghetti with mussels, shrimp, calamari, clams and tomatoes.

• Don't overlook the pizza options on the cena menu. We tried the pizza salciccia marscapone. Very authentic!

  by Christopher Floss

  
  

• Even if you can't sit on the city's best patio all year, chef Tony Priolo's pizzas, housemade pastas and grilled meats make a trip worth it even in the dead of winter.

• Beet salad - so good, earthy

  by Olivia L.

  
  

• It sits on a corner of a very busy six-way intersection, but you'd never know it once you're ensconced in the backyard patio, shielded by tall fencing and surrounded by uplit landscaping.

  by Cate L.

  by Thompson Hotels

  
  

• You won't find lasagna or tiramisu on the menu. Restaurant is very L-O-U-D-not the place for a first date. Very extensive wine list. Try the chocolate hazelnut dish for dessert. Trust me.

• Even if you can't sit on the city's best patio all year, chef Tony Priolo's pizzas, housemade pastas and grilled meats make a trip worth it even in the dead of winter. [Eater 38 Member]
