The insalata mista was just fine, but not terribly memorable. They did a good job of dealing with babies (our table), grumpy preteens (the table behind us), and some painfully posh types (in the back room); there are separate Italian and English menus (and possible some others).

I enjoyed lunch so much I went back for dinner with two friends. For lunch I had pizza. I am a fan…read moreof good pizza, this was excellent. The crust was thin and had just the right amount of sauce l, cheese and toppings. I put chili olive oil on top and crushed peppers and added a great pop to the pizza. For dinner I had the lasagna al pesto. This had the green pesto sauce instead of a tomato ragu. Delicious! I'm going back to try some of the other specialties. Service was excellent, no waiting for lunch but dinner you should make reservations. Mostly Italian spoken, but proprietor also speaks Spanish. Very nice people.

Just finished dinner elsewhere and was looking for a dessert, coffee and a glass of wine. Stopped…read morehere as it is close to my hotel. Woman at the counter did not seat me but offered me the dessert and coffee to go. She Stated this is a pizza restaurant not a bar. Ouch! I understand the concept of her restaurant but her delivery was very discouraging. As an American visiting for the 1st time I felt embarrassed and uncomfortable. However I sucked it up and took my items to go minus the wine. I can tell this is not a normal thing as I was given the coffee in the equivalent of a plastic shot glass and a strip of foil paper covering it. She knocked me up for $7. I'll be here for 3 more days and will NEVER take the 3 steps it takes from my hotel to return. Even the two employees looking on were puzzled. They stared at me the whole time and one was shaking his head at the woman as if to gesture "unbeleavable"

Portions were small, so we ended up ordering more than we would typically for our group. It's kinda a tourist trap, but one that isn't totally awful. Location is tucked away. Serene ambiance but not much of a view. Service was quick and attentive. They take a lot of pride in the work, we didn't start eating right away and the owner came and encourage us to start eating because it would be good if it was cold - I was waiting for my wife to return from the WC before commencing.

There isn't really anywhere to wait, but fortunately it was nice so we just sat on the curb across the street. When we did get seated, the food was served promptly and a great bargain. Good portions and cooked perfectly. The problem we had is as the place started emptying, the staff started eating and essentially ignored the few who were left, unless you were a local.
