Nice place, pizza tastes good with crusty bottom. Busy place so make sure you have a reservation. Takeaway is possible.

warning: this place will spoil you. it is exactly what we were looking for: neighborhood pizza joint, lots of regulars, hardly anyone speaks english. it was perfect. don’t let the limited menu concern you. it just means these delicious, wood-fired pizzas are perfect every time. if it’s the first pizza you eat in italy, get ready to be disappointed with all the other pizzas you try after this one. i don’t know if we’ll ever make it back here, but i will dream about this pizza often.
