    Pizza excellent. Beet salad also excellent. Cavatelli disappointing, heavy and stodgy. The wine, as with most restaurants, is jaw-droppingly overpriced.

    Portions small for price. Loud. Ask for table near kitchen especially in cold weather. Excellent service.

    Excellent service. Beautiful room. Limited menu but enough choices to satisfy most patrons. The beets salad was delicious as was the mushroom and gorganzola pizza. Great wine and cocktail list that includes creative AF choices. The room is very loud. Only downside.
