“ Don't pay attention to any of the mediocre reviews you may encounter on Yelp! On a hot summer night, my girlfriends/I decided to go out for a pizza & beer to cool off the & Pizza & beer sounded perfect for an impromptu gathering. Around 8:30 PM on the weeknight, the restaurant was busy with diners & we were seated promptly. We ordered a typical Margarita pizza & Caesar salad , & beers to start & quickly finished up all but still were hungry. Our friendly, personable, & awesome server , Giovanni, recommended the white pizza with mozzarella, tomatoes, & basils, one of the house specialties. Oh my god, it was really delicious! We finished up the 2nd pizza literally less than 2 minutes, lol, & we all each had two bottles of beers. Thanks, Giovanni for the recommendation & extra calories, lol! We could go on eating more pizzas but we felt enormously guilty after consuming so much calories that we decided to stop for the night! The restaurant is very family friendly, located right off the Lexington just a block north from the 6 train stop , 68th Street on the beautiful Upper East Side residential neighborhood. Recommend, for great pizza, beers, wines, & friendly staff. We will go back to try their other authentic Italian pasta & mouth watering deserts ext time! ”
“ Great drinks, service and brick oven pizza here! Dino the bartender was superb! He makes excellent drinks and he is one of the sweetest! The restaurant is very lucky to have him. We tried the robiola pizza & it was so delicious and unique! I have never had a pizza like this and the cheese & truffle oil with the arugula was heavenly! ”
“ Fine spot in UES for some decent Italian food. Everything we had was pretty good including calamari, burrata, meatballs, and a calabrese pizza. Main issue is that it's a bit too pricey for what you get. There are better options out there for the same or lower cost. Outdoor seating is pretty solid and the indoors was very pretty. Definitely not telling you not to go, just don't expect it to be your new favorite restaurant in the city. ”
