Service
Pros:
"The waiters Jake, Giggino, Fabiano and Giuseppe go ABOVE AND BEYOND to make you feel welcome."
"Plus everyone there is super friendly."
"The staff is super friendly and always ready for a laugh."
"Our server Thomas was phenomenal and so courteous and helpful."
"The owners are the sweetest people and provide top quality service."
"Service was quick and staff was friendly - grazie Luca!"
"The service is superb!"
Cons:
"The host/manager was one of the worst. When we asked about our delayed order saying two tables who ordered after us had been served, he said, 'I donβt care.'"
"Not a welcoming place for Black/Brown and BIPOC folks. Being white is a requisite for good service!"
"The service though - quite slow and erratic."
"The waiter all but ignored everyone."
"Staff also rushed guests out, as soon as possible, to push more people inside."
"One of the servers ignored for 20+min."
"The service was not good at all."
Food Quality
Pros:
"The food was insanely good."
"Phenomenal Neapolitan pizza. Small place with outdoor seating that packs a powerhouse of culinary excellence."
"Real, genuine, verace, pizza Napuletane! It was like being at Pizzeria Starista in Naples."
"Shrimp black pasta was so yummy! For shrimp lovers it will be perfect π."
"The pizza was airy and the dough was chewy and lovely."
"It's one of the best pizza's I had ever tried in my life."
"Everything smelled so delicious and every single bite was more flavorful than the last."
Cons:
"The first pizza came out with cold sauce and cheese that wasn't melted."
"The pizza arrived soggy and cold."
"The pizza wasnβt any close to a real Italian pizza, the cheese was so much and just in the middle, the porcini were so mushy and soggy."
"The delicate balance that makes a Neapolitan pizza shine was lost: a heavy handed distribution of fresh mozzarella, shingled and melted into a massive glob on top of the pizza, made for difficult eating."
"The only qualm I have is that the centre was a bit soggy meaning that the pizza fell apart."
"The margarite pizza wasn't the problem per se... but it had reached a level of sogginess due to the high amount of moisture."
"The special pizza, the tartufo, on the other hand, would have been good but tasted like detergent!!"
Ambiance
Pros:
"The ambiance and service were very fun and cool for a fun dinner out!"
"A very warm and welcoming feeling from everyone."
"Filled with soccer memorabilia, this is the best place to stop and enjoy a full-hearted meal."
"The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the aroma of freshly baked pizza filled the air."
"The vibe of the restaurant is very lively, a good neighborhood spot with great service."
"Very quaint little place in the village. Such a fun atmosphere."
"The atmosphere is cozy and felt like I was back in Napoli."
Cons:
"The music (and the background in general) is a bit too loud and sometimes it's difficult to hear what your people are saying."
"You were closed! You didnβt tell anyone you were closed."
"Itβs a tight space so youβre very cozy with other patrons."
"Very nice restaurant, but gets quite noisy, which is not too pleasant."
"The restaurant itself is modern, light and with loud Italian music."
"Somewhat chaotic and cramped, but charming."
"Chaotic, cold, and hard to relax & enjoy the meal."
Value
Pros:
"Their $10 lunch specials are unbeatable and the quality of food is on point."
"Prices were very reasonable (I paid a total of $81+ tip and left popping open a button)."
"The prices are completely reasonable also."
"The food and drinks are affordable so it makes for a great group dinner."
"Happy hour drinks are a bonus!"
"Amazing taste (just like in Italy), and surprisingly reasonable prices!"
"Excellent quality-price!"
Cons:
"You may still feel a bit hungry if you eat just the 12β pizza so if you are very hungry get the 16β."
"I feel it's a bit overpriced."
"Prices are on the high end."
"Only niggle is it's very pricey for pizza and pasta."
"However more than 50$ for a 12β pizza, one Diet Coke and on espresso looks too expensive to me."
"My only comment would be that the restaurant is quite pricey for Neapolitan pizzas (about 20 USD per pizza)."
