   Three of us dining, ordered two pizzas and salad, and shared. It was plenty. The pizzas (we had one white and one yellow) were very good. The fungo in white was great. The salad had everything we like and was large enough for 3-4 people. Both pizzas were prepared as expected, based on the techniques advertised, and were really good - thin dough except for the outer crust, cooked completely without being dry or crunchy. Edges properly "burned and blistered". Service was excellent, but we were literally the first customers of the day. It was our first visit, and our server was informative, polite and patient.

   Our food was excellent, our server not so much. The worst is when he put dirty glasses from another table down on our table to take an order and then left them there despite many trips past or table and us trying to get his attention. That not one of the waiters passing our table picked up over 10 glasses at the end of our table was a joke. The end of our table was literally in an aisle to a pathway to the kitchen and bar. We had to remind him we ordered drinks (he said they were busy, we were right next to the bar - not that busy, forgot another bottle of water (we asked 3 times) Did not check our table after serving dinner and took forever to bring the dessert menu and check. I really think he was just trolling us at the end. I have not had this bad of service in a long, long time and we eat out at least once a week. The food was outstanding from the meat and cheese appetizer, to the pizzas and truffle dish, the seasonal dessert was the favorite at our table. We will return, but certainly ask for another server. As the holidays ramp up, service needs to be much, much better or I'm afraid the restaurant will suffer and this was on a Monday.

   While I like the food, you need to be prepared for the hustle and bustle feel. No real quiet place. The waiter was not very enthused and forgot to bring back some cheese back to the fable and a glass of wine. Another waitress stepped in to help! You really should have a bread option.

   Amazing food! Love the ambience too. I hope one opens closer to my home as I’ve heard that may happen.

   We had a great evening with friends. Service was excellent. Maria was very attentive. She spaced out our appetizers and meals perfectly. It was a little noisy, but expected given the tiled floors. We will be back.
