We were extremely disappointed with this restaurant. Their inflexible attitude (they wouldn't substitute regular mozzarella for smoked mozzarella) on a pizza, and no refills on iced tea made it a less-than- enjoyable experience. The server was lovely, but for those prices, they needed to be more customer friendly.

The Pinsa Romano pizza was great, as was the traditional NY style. The antipasto salad was also amazing. We will definitely go back. And the service was perfect. Very attentive waitperson. :) If you haven't been, go check out this hidden gem.
