The young Pier Daniele Seu, the award winner of the "2016 Italian Emerging Pizza Chef" award, presents a pizza with a 30-hour rising time, which is crunchy & at the same time soft with an airy crust. A skillful union of both the Neapolitan & Roman styles. On the night I was there, I didn't get to meet his lovely wife, Valeria, and when I asked, Danielle told me there would always be a pizza named after her on the seasonal menu, which they change often. I love this. Love wins!
You know the award-winning pizzas are incredible but don't miss out on the very BEST Supplí I've ever had! Perfect amount of cheese for that infamous pull, layers of flavor built into the risotto, and the perfectly thin fried crust.
The space is artistic and fun, & a welcoming vibe throughout. You can trust illuminate with your carb allowance, time & money, we'll worth it.
