The pizza was average, and unfortunately, the gnocchi was cold and lacked flavor. The Alfredo sauce stood out as the highlight of the meal. Regrettably, the appetizer ended up being the best part of our experience. The restaurant was nearly empty, yet the server never inquired if we wanted anything to drink besides water or if we’d like to order dessert after our meal. Overall, it was an okay place, but the food felt overpriced, and the tip was included in the bill. This made the poor service less impactful, but it certainly didn’t enhance our experience.
It was excellent. 🤌 The Margherita was incredible: who knew that much flavor could be found in just four ingredients? The dough was tasty - soft but not soggy, charred in places but not overly burnt. Their San marzano tomatoes really shone and were complimented by the mozzarella. I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the pizzas; I thought the portions were perfectly satisfactory. The place was clean, cozy, and the giant tiled pizza oven tended by smiling cooks chatting in Italian added that extra little touch. Overall a solid A+, I wish I lived nearby.
Feel in love with this place when my brother-in-law took me there in Oct. I will go there every time I’m in DC. Pizza is amazing. Actually everything was delicious.
Delicious pizza. Thin crispy crust. Fresh ingredients. The service was excellent. My experience was amazing. I highly recommend this pizza parlor.
