• Pizzeria • Capitol Hill / First Hill

Booked 6 times today

We opened our first pizzeria in 2004 in the burgeoning Capitol Hill neighborhood. For months before we opened curious onlookers poked their heads in the former auto body shop, and outlandish rumors spread. One person saw a team of masons reportedly flown in from Naples to build a gargantuan wood-fired oven, someone heard that the bricks also came from Naples rich with Vesuvian ash, a reporter ran a story about a taxi driver leading our owner down a dark Neaopolitan street to meet a talented Pizzaiolo who was then whisked to an airport….As it turns out almost all of the tall tales are true – on opening night people lined up for the authentic Neaopolitan pizza and since then our ovens have only gotten busier. Via Tribunali has been called "more authentic than the pizzerias of Naples," and even though that is a flattering exaggeration it is fair to say that our pizzerias have grown out of an almost unnatural passion for the food & wine of Southern Italy.

Great service, drinks and oysters!!!! The steak with frites was not so great. It was a 24 hour Sous Vide which is usually a great way to make a steak tender. However, this steak was the toughest, chewiest steak I've had in a long time. I couldn't finish it, not because I was full, but it just wasn't satisfying, especially for that price point. Maybe if you order that, double check with the host, for a verification of "tenderness." Other than that tough , I love this place!

We went for a birthday celebration. It was an amazing experience. The food was delicious, the service was great. It was such a cool experience to see them cross off the meat selection they have the chalkboard.
