Honestly, one of the best pizzas I ever had. I also tried the pistachio pasta and it was outstanding. I'll be back, and bring a lot of friends. Thank you for the great service and smiles.

We really enjoyed our starters and pizza, and the little terrace at the back of the restaurant. The stracciatella was delicious!
