This smaller version of Montesacro Pinseria is great for many reasons, including location, availability and friendly service. The food is consistently delicious-seasonal salads, pastas and pinsas are amazing. Server Erin was smart (we ordered the wrong wine & she kindly gave us a taste before we ended up with sparkling), friendly, and paced our courses perfectly. Can’t wait to return!

Dinner was amazing. Each entree - pork shoulder and the skirt steak was cooked to perfection. Side dishes of the torcho and the grilled calamari were outstanding. The appetizers of grilled halloumi and butternut squash risotto was also amazing. The waitress gave great tips on portion sizes as well as terrific recommendations. Overall it was superb. Can’t wait to go back!
