This restaurant is something special!! Imported ingredients straight from Italy, amazing and friendly customer service and a stellar menu. We really enjoyed our experience here for date night last night. We had two beers, the meatballs and eggplant appetizers and shared an Americana pizza and were out the door for under $70! Really well balanced portions and the food was amazing. The pizza in particular was something special, the dough is light and fluffy with a perfect texture. The flavors from the oven permeate the dish. My husband said it reminded him of the pizza he ate in Rome while staring at the Coliseum! Our server Linda was SO kind, she was the icing on the cake for the experience. 10 out of 10 highly recommend!

Delicious! Stopped on a whim. Prices are decent considering the good quality ingredients and large size of the pizzas. Dog friendly outdoor seating. Friendly staff. Margarita pizza was $17 and a beer was $6.

Tiny 12 inch pizzas very expensive small tiny pasta dishes very expensive and service just OK not very friendly felt taken, food just mediocre. $22 for a 12 inch pizza and $22 for maybe 12 pieces Pasta and they don't know how to make a Vodka sauce. $188 and left hungry. Many far better restaurants in St Pete than this place.

Very good, slightly chewy, thin crust pizza with fresh and flavorful toppings. Eggplant parmigiana was not breaded and simply delicious.

Excellent Italian food. Probably the best Neapolitan pizza around. We've been here a few times and service and food have always been great. The seating arrangement for the 2-tops is a bit crowded. That's my only complaint.

We only had lunch here, but the food was of a very good quality, and the cigar beer I had was an excellent beverage. Only a few customers were present when we visited, so it is difficult to provide a 5 star rating for the atmosphere, but the service was excellent. If we ever visit St Petes again, it will definitely be a venue for us to visit for lunch or dinner.

This is my new favorite restaurant downtown. I asked for them to add truffle to my gnocchi alfredo, and they did and it was almost as good as the truffle gnocchi I got in Marseilles. Kennedy was our server and for those to things I will be back more than I should.

We really enjoyed the food, the waitress, and the interior design, but their prices are outrageous for what you get. $24 for an 8" plate of Caesar salad with five shrimp...eek.
