Do yourself a favor and transport yourself to Mars for an evening. Delightfully weird and tremendously tasty, this innovative restaurant is a guaranteed good time. Paul D'avino and co are all stars as creating a welcoming atmosphere and unforgettable meal. From the cocktails to the pastas to the science behind melty cheese - top notch meal. No notes!

Pizza secret was a great find. Service was excellent. We were greeted immediately and our waitress was attentive. Taking our order in a timely manner and attentive. Food was delicious. Only thing I wish they did was add more sauce to their margarita pie. It was all dough and it really missed more sauce and something to dial up the flavor. Otherwise the rest of the meal was excellent (meatballs, rice balls, and the Americana pizza (which I highly recommend)).
