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.

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"

Mild weather, so we ate outside, which also gave us the opportunity to people watch. My husband had the Spaghetti con Scoglio, I had the Spaghetti Carbonara (my first time eating this dish). Both were excellent. The seafood in the Spaghetti con Scoglio was fresh and abundant and the sauce was rich and seasoned well. The Carbonara was unctuous with yolky goodness and tasted like breakfast done right. The servers were attentive and the price was fair. Will definitely visit again...

It gets busy at the evenings as it seats only 15-20 people, but there is always option of taking pizzas to go (they are also cheaper that way).

This is more than a pizza shop. They have a variety menu, but what is most notable on the menu is…read morethe Genovese focaccia. It is very thin like a pizza and has a delicate texture. Truly delicious. We had a fantastic dinner outside on the courtyard, quintessential of an Italian neighborhood spot. It is not often where I enjoy a meal with lines of clothes hung above the buildings, but somehow it just works in Italy. The dessert pana cotta is a must. This assignment my first time ever eating potato and octopus, which I really enjoyed. Skip the bread basket - not needed, since the focaccia is what you really need to order.

My real mission is to be honest so that others don't order the same plates. I wish I had the same advice and it would have been a much better experience. I had the warm octopus and potato salad. The octopus was nicely cooked but it didn't have any flavor. No salt or anything. Disappointing. Then my pasta was tagliatelle with a whole lobster. Pasta was nicely cooked but the lobster was almost raw. I love lobster, but this was was just too raw for me to eat. The tuna tartare was huge, but didn't have any flavor. The fish ravioli with Genovese pesto sauce was full of flavor and was probably the best plate of the night. Lots of options in the area.

We didn't care what the restaurant was, we were eating there because it was lunchtime and there was nothing else around. In the end, we discovered new pasta (Mandilli), had the best pesto I've ever eaten, and had a strawberry dessert so tasty and fresh. Nothing compares. I've never had Mandilli pasta before, nor have I seen it. I'm now on a quest to make it at home in the USA. Oddly, they do not serve pizza at lunchtime here. That was disappointing to me until I started eating my pasta and then I was like, "what pizza?" But I think it's a giant pizza. They have big wooden holders for it and it looks from the menu that it feeds 4 minimum. Bring an Italian-speaking friend or Google Translate. You'll need it for the menu. No English menus here.
