• Pizzeria • ByWard Market
Our strong commitment to make a distinctive offer of excellence available has been validated by our customers with consistent 5-star reviews on Google and TripAdvisor. The food offer is inspired by the fascinating Western and Eastern Mediterranean culinary traditions-French, Greek, Italian, Macedonian and Spanish. For instance, our pizza is made of "Green" dough (antioxidants, minerals and vitamins infused) in a brick oven according to a recipe older than one century. We also offer authentic appetizers, tapas, flat breads, salads and iconic mains from the multicultural heritage of the Mediterranean civilization. For a more refined and sophisticated experience, our meals are accompanied by selected, elegant and affordable wines including Pinot Grigio, Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Pinot Noir, Tempranillo, and others. The symphony of flavors of our food and wine is complemented by the inviting interior of wood and stone, informal seating arrangements, arts and warm atmosphere.
