this pizza was just OK. I thought it was slightly undercooked. The crust was in great. I think three stars is generous Pinos Pizza and rock city is far superior. I would not repeat just because they're a better choices. The menu does look great and I will try some of the pasta dishesin the

I had heard a ton a really good things about the food and especially the vodka sauce so I was super excited to try the food and it did NOT disappoint! Our server was very nice and attentive! We did go on the earlier side so it wasn't very busy but they did have good music playing and it wasn't too loud which we appreciated because we were able to chat across the table without feeling like we had to be too loud! Very excited to go back!!

Best Italian food I’ve found! In my opinion Dave’s cooking is better than anything I have had in the North End by far. Dante’s is really a hidden
This place makes great pizza. The vibe is a little strange. The night we were there they were playing techno and it seemed like it wanted to be a club, hence the name... but it's a pizza place. It's something different I guess? Overall, I'd go back. I wasn't blown away, but the pizza was great. And I think it would be really nice in the summer with the window open.

Polished upgrade from Dante of old! An unexpected gem in Coolidge corner with same great food as in the past with a refreshed trendy lounge vibe. All dishes are hearty and delicious.

Unreal food. The guy working the kitchen isn't half bad either

Drinks were nice, bartender said I was rude for calling her “maam” and was overall just not very friendly. Was just being polite. Asked for a drink suggestion and she said she didn’t drink and just stared at me :/ was just asking what was good. She did let my friend charge her phone which was nice (maybe bc she didn’t call her ma’am lol)

Incredible pizza and the Asian woman bartender is a beast, never had to wait for a drink while it's a packed
The pasta speaks for itself. It's the first time that I've been to a restaurant. And I feel like Im eating "real" food. Everything cooked fresh to order. Just come and taste the goodness. One of my favorite after class hang outs.

Cute little spot in Brookline! The food was all good but a little pricey for a casual spot, and the service was not great, we were a little bit ignored at around 7 on a weeknight where there was only one other person eating there. I've seen that they randomly have a DJ some nights of the week which doesn't really fit the vibe in my opinion, but when they don't have it it's a cute casual spot to grab a bite.

Pizza was solid (so much better than the local chain down the block). **update to my review: my husband, who grew up in Italy, regarding the leftover pizza said this is some of the best pizza he’s had in Boston**The atmosphere is pretty cool. The bartender threw me off - maybe she was having a bad day? Didn’t offer a menu or check in at all (the place was quiet, so it wasn’t that she was busy with customers). When I was still working on my drink she handed me the check, without asking if I wanted another drink or dessert. I was really really hoping for a friendly neighborhood spot, and that’s not the experience I had. I’ll be back because from other reviews it seems like maybe tonight was an outlier.

This quaint spot in Brookline is a must try! The atmosphere, ambiance, bar, is all 5/5. Chef Dave makes you feel like you're having a meal in the comfort of your own kitchen! Be sure to try a few cocktails and the caesar salad is a must get. The dressing is delicious! Will definitely go back. Thanks again.

I've been twice now, both experiences were excellent. On my most recent visit I had the Ribeye Bolognese over linguine and it was truly incredible. The meat in the sauce was so tender and delicious, all perfectly topped with a sweet balsamic glaze. 10/10. The space is small, with 6 or 7 tables and about the same number of bar seats but don't let that stop you as they do both takeout and delivery ?
