Wood-fired pizzas with light, blistered crusts and an adjoining salumeria anchor this spirited corner on Main Street. The dining room runs loud and electric—long communal tables packed shoulder to shoulder while cooks stretch dough in plain view of the crowd. Regulars swear by the balance of fresh mozzarella, wagyu beef lasagna, and crisp bases straight from the oven. Tables fill quickly on weekends, though sidewalk seats offer an easy escape into the sun alongside a pour of Prosecco or a bowl of crab ravioli. Lingering over coffee and tiramisu often leads straight to the retail counter, where shelves stay stocked with imported pasta, artisan cheeses, and cured meats.
- Integrated Italian deli: Imported Italian smallgoods, cheeses, pantry staples, and biscuits sit right next to the buzzing dining room.
- Open display kitchen: Wood-fired pizzas emerge from an open kitchen where diners watch dough get tossed and fired.
- High-energy dining: Bustling shared bench seating and outdoor tables host lively celebratory dinners and sunny lunches.

They have deli sections and coffee also bars. Very nice and busy restaurant. We ordered three pizza and a pasta, they all delicious and served very fast. We also bought a couple of their Italian crackers for later.
