While pizza and pasta are just the tip of the Italian iceberg, there is a reason these two culinary staples are the most beloved exports from Italy. Enjoy our seasonal selection just steps away from where our expert pasta chefs and dough-slinging pizzaioli (pizza makers) create dishes before your eyes.

This was such a unique and amazing experience! I came with two friends, we sat at the temaki counter and it was the perfect girls night out. Our rolls were so good and I loved that we got to pace ourselves while we ate. We also got the mushroom dip and enjoyed that as well! I absolutely want to come back here with my boyfriend. We were in and out in 40 minutes - so quick! Absolutely worth it.
