    We had a reservation for 2 and there was only a table near the restrooms or between two very boisterous large group seatings. The waiter was attentive and sensitive to the noise. His recommendations of the Sushi Pizza was excellent - uniquely prepared flatbread filled with savory smoked salmon, cheeses and seasonings and presented as sushi. Lovely. The Carpaccio was paper thin and welk-presented. A full plated giant Calzone rounded out the dinner, but the top was overdone without having had the marinara on top. Overall a good choice. We’ll be back for another meal.
