This is the perfect neighborhood Italian place like in Manhattan or SanFrancisco. Absolutely delicious, we’ll-crafted Italian food that elevates the ingredients. My husband and I split a pizza and each had a salad plus a bottle of wine. Pizza amazing, wines amazing, salads lovely. Been wondering why Berkeley didn’t have places like this.
Excellent pizza, great variety and quality.
Dude, amazing place. It looks small from the front but behind the scenes they are quite busy handcrafting absolutely every food item on their menu. From the handmade pastas to the specially crafted sauces, and again to the unique and fresh gelato flavors, this place has got it going on. They're mostly regular ITALIAN entre dishes, however, the back part of the menu are their designer pies. And people, I'm talking about the zaaahhh (PIZZA, duh!).As if this spot hadn't already started calling to you, I almost forgot to mention the complete modesty of the menu s pricing. Realistically, I've seen places of this caliber charge much more than even the most expensive things on the menu. They also have a lunch menu averaging slightly less as well. Everything here is going to be around the $20.00 and below mark.Where you may end up coming out of pocket slightly is going to be on the appetizers or your wine selection...both of which, pared with the perfect dish, absolutely will make your dining experience here something to brag about, especially if you are the first of your friends to find this gem and test it out.
I ordered my first pizza (GH delivery) from this place tonight, so I’m reviewing that, not inside or service etc. I’m disappointed. Crust is doughy, slightly sweet, and undercooked for my liking. Also, they appeared to have cut it but it’s not cut completely, so you end up ripping it up and toppings fly everywhere. Not much cheese or sauce. Toppings (mushrooms and basil) are all overly centered making the center soggy. First bites you have toppings and then 1.5-2” of crust. IMO there’s quite a few better options in the area. I will try their other pastries and goods and update this if needed but I’m bummed out for this meal. They offer 2 sizes, this one being the larger one, and it looks too small for the box.
Great pizza, friendly service; delicious gelato. What more could you want !
We love this new pizza place in our neighborhood! The frutti di mare pizza is amazing
So delicious!!!!
Went here at noon on Saturday and was surprised to find yummy pastries fresh out of the oven! Delicious! Friendly staff too.
I keep trying this place cause it’s in my neighborhood but I’m always disappointed. The interior and the staff are lovely but the pizza Is just mediocre at best. It tastes like microwaved frozen supermarket pizza. Berkeley has a dozen places that serve pizza that’s way superior. I wish I did not feel compelled to write this because we need places like this to thrive in west berkeley but they need to step up their game.
Homemade, italian lasagna, pizza and desert. one of my favorite!
