Book NowAbout Freddy's
Windsor pizza loyalists head straight down Chapel Street for this one—blistered pies pulled from an open wood-fired oven with an airy cornicione and toppings tuned to restraint. Regulars back the Luca Il Duca, while Italian diners note the Pasta alla Norma tastes straight out of childhood. Dim lighting. Low jazz across the dining room. Floor staff steer service with speed, finding stools at the bar for solo dinners or seating groups out in the heated rear courtyard. Meals close over crisp calamari and spoons dipping into light house tiramisu.

- Heated Rear Courtyard: An enclosed, heated outdoor courtyard provides relaxed dining tucked away from Chapel Street, suited for easy group gatherings.
