At Bivio our passion is authentic Neapolitan pizza. Napoli... our love of the city, its cuisine, and in particular, its pizza is where our story began. We heard time and time again “It’s all about the dough.” True to Neapolitan tradition, and the passion of the pizzaioli, we construct our pizza using “00” flour from Naples, San Marzano DOP tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil, fresh basil, fior di latte or bufala mozzarella, and sea salt. Our dough is gently mixed using a 28 year old “lieveto madre” (natural yeast culture) then with intense heat is baked in our wood burning il forno. At Bivio all of our dishes are made with the freshest and highest quality ingredients.

    The service was absolutely perfect. We were given enough time to have our wine and look at the menu and discuss our options. The timing of the appetizer to the main to the dessert was seamless. We really enjoy not having to feel rushed through our meals and actually have a moment to enjoy every bit of our mezze options before the entree. 10/10 will be back and recommending to others!

    My partner and I had a great experience dining here at Spuntino! Amazing Italian food, along with a variety of cocktails to choose from. The service was great and attentive the whole meal and made suggestions of pairing food and drink. We are definitely going back soon for drinks at the bar to try more of their amazing specials!

    This is one of our favorite restaurants! We have been going to LuNello for 20 years and it gets better and better. Chef Louis and his team continue to reinvent themselves. The food is sophisticated yet extremely approachable and downright unctuous. The service staff is professional, welcoming and extremely knowledgeable. They really care about the guest having a great experience. ❤️
