The fruit and vegetables for the appetizer trays were fresh, and the pasta, sauces, shrimp kabobs and Chicken Piccata were all seasoned well. The chicken breasts were moist and the portions Dino provided were generous. Most of all, the servers kept all of the warming trays full throughout the buffet. Dino's pricing is very affordable and his food and his employees' good service made the wedding very special!

The pizza is quite large, but you won't feel icky or bloated after eating the slices. The ingredients are fresh, and pizza is cooked excellent. The people are incredibly nice. Service was really nice, and pizza came out in good time! The ambiance was really spacious and bright. It's an open space with plenty of seating, and Italian decorations throughout. Please check this place out!!

The service is always fast, so it's a great spot whether you're dining in or grabbing a quick meal. The restaurant has a fun, lively atmosphere that makes it an enjoyable place to eat. The only minor downside is the parking lot, which is a bit small and can fill up quickly. That said, it's easy enough to park across the street if needed, so it has never been a major issue. Overall, I'd definitely recommend Pi Napo to anyone looking for fantastic pizza and a great dining experience.

It's cool that the noodles are hand-made but they were very chewy to me. Maybe I'm just not used to home-made pasta but it was lacking. I appreciate that they have vegetarian options, however it seems like it's written by a meat-eater who thinks, "this is what vegetarians can eat!" Very limiting and not very creative (from a pescatarian). Pasta was ready very quickly which was nice but if it was rushed, it shows. $12 for butter noodles. Can't say I'll be going back.

This is a pure takeout window that is off the Charlottesville arcade. Trying to park in this area…read morecan be a bit challenging during peak times, especially given that construction was ongoing at the time of my visit. I ordered several items to eat over a period of time, and got most of what they had that would interest me. It's the kind of place where vegetarian with cheese is possible but other more restrictive dietary needs may not find much. Their interpretation of garlic bread is a flavored pizza crust, which I don't like as much as a properly airy loaf of bread. The cacio e pepe could have use a bit more pepe, but I appreciated the al dente noodles texturally. While they brand themselves as a pasta place, their pizza had a tangy tomato hit and a ton of basil that I appreciated. Arguably the best item was the salad, which oddly claimed to be a traditional caesar but had shaved brussels sprout, marinated tomatoes, bread crumbs, and a vegetarian dressing. Which is to say, it was much better from my perspective than a traditional caesar. The ultimate amount of food for the money, in consideration that this place is pure takeout, did not wow me. Were I in Charlottesville, I would sooner seek out a chance to dine in somewhere nice or cook my own, but for a traveler, the food here satisfied a craving.

We each got a pizza and were able to finish both since we were starving. We loved the pizza scissors! Our server was prompt, and we felt lucky to be seated right away on a Wednesday night. Their connecting bar was having a concert outside, with what felt like hundreds of people in attendance. We also learned that we could park in the industrial warehouse lot next door since it was after 5 PM. We'll be back!

SERVICE We came in on a rainy evening and were told the…read morewait might be about 45 minutes...and no space to wait indoors so we sat outside in the covered patio and they came by to let us order drinks as we waited. Thankfully, got the drink and were called in early about 15 minutes into the wait. That little surprise made things start off on a good note. Once inside, we sat at the bar since there weren't tables available and we were HUNGRY and cold! Even with the weather and a busy crowd, everything felt smooth and relaxed. AMBIANCE The place was small and cozy with a warm vibe that instantly made us forget the rain outside! The cool shallot-shaped lamps over the bar gave off soft light, making the whole space feel super calm and inviting. Sitting at the bar felt right choice for us for our first time -- close enough to the energy of the restaurant and people watching and seeing the pizzas get made but still comfortable! There's a soft buzz but cozy enough to chat and just feel at home. FOOD We ordered the Abruzzo pizza with beef and pork meatballs, fiore di latte, San Marzano tomato, basil, and pecorino. It was hearty and rich but still balanced. We also wanted to try the Prosciutto pizza, which was not the favorite but still good. The San Marzano tomato sauce for the Abruzzo was the star of the show. We were sad we didn't order another pizza with the tomato sauce to switch it up but oh well, another time right?! Loved the floppiness, the tomato sauce flavor, and the crust! Have to love the scissor-plate idea -- very clever and so easy. And size of these personal small-sized pizzas perfect for 2 people so we could have room for dessert and not have leftovers! We finished with the Zeppole "donuts" which were fried ricotta donuts tossed in cinnamon sugar with a hint of lemon (which I LOVED the lemon here and cinnamon sugar worked perfectly!). They were light, warm, crispy and just what you want at the end of a meal. The food was delicious, though definitely on the pricier side ($16-$18 each for the small pizzas, $9 for dessert. Still, everything felt thoughtful and worth it for the quality!

This setup is so that people not wanting to wait in at the original can get takeout at an entirely…read moreseparate location. The art park has some places you could eat outdoors, though some are marked off for other businesses. For a 100% takeout, it wasn't the smoothest experience. They ran out of some things, they ran a bit over the projected order time, and they forgot my beverage, which thankfully I realized before I'd gotten very far. The flavor delivered as I would have hoped, with pure tomato tang, fresh basil, and a delectable charred crust on the core pizza I got. Adding a vegetable sandwich was a good decision in terms of taste, but either the preserved peppers they use or some other ingredient was so salty it took me a while to recover from even eating half of it. I do give them credit for offering sparkling water at a reasonable price. And of note, the budino dessert they offer, while described as pudding, is something that I learned is actually vegetarian (albeit with dairy and eggs), and delivered more excellent flavor. Overall, the amount I got for the money was not great, and while there were ample quality ingredients, I would sooner go back to eating in.

This review is kind of strange for me. It's been quite some time since I have been to Lampo pizza…read moreand is the very first time I've tried the location in IX park. The food is identical to the original and is quite convenient to order online. All that being said the pizza is not really your traditional pizza. It's kind of in a realm of its own and does not compare to anything else in the area. I consider it to be "fancy" pizza and comes with a hefty price tag. The pizza itself is quite good, the zeppole was very good, and the meatballs were exquisite. I would eat this again but not on any sort of a regular basis. It's just not my cup of tea.

I don't normally get mayo on my burger but that is how they serve it, so I tried and it was great!! We were there in mid afternoon, so the market was not very busy.
