This place is amazing! Unassuming, cozy, casual "neighborhood" feel with the best brick oven pizza cooked to perfection. Warm arugula salad is on point and generous enough for two to share. Bar is well stocked with nice selection of wines to compliment their menu.

Best brick oven pizza! Friday night the place was packed not a free table. We picked a pizza up. It was ready right on time. The pizza toppings were so good, arugula, mushrooms, eggplant, mozzarella & prosciutto. It's better than good!! This was our first time there but won't be our last.

If I could give them 10 Stars I would! My significant other and I are in complete agreement, this is the freshest and best Italian food on the south shore of Long Island. The team is pleasant and gave awesome recommendations. The food is just *chef's kiss*. We had the Brussel Sprout appetizer and it was crispy and delicious! The Bufala pizza - the sauce is ridiculously fresh and the buffalo mozzarella was so good. Short rib rigatoni - fresh pasta made in house and the short rib melted in your mouth. Chicken parmigiana was really tasty! We wound up bringing a good amount of the pasta and chicken home to save some room for dessert. The tiramisu was.. wow! We will see y'all again soon!

I've gone to this restaurant about 2-3 times a year for at least 15 years now. I don't know what happened, but the last two visits were so poor that they were my last. First, the restaurant has a nice rustic decor, but the chairs/benches are so uncomfortable. No cushioning, flat (not contoured) wood or metal. Second, there's no salt/pepper on the tables (you have to ask for them), and no bread is provided while you wait for your meal to come (not even offered). The eggplant parmigiana dinner comes with bread, but if you ask for a side of spaghetti instead of bread, they tell you they don't do "sides", they can only add a full order of spaghetti if wanted. (Seriously? They can't halve the full order and just charge 1/2 for it?) They changed their menu and now have absolutely nothing on it that's vegan, so I ordered a plate of spaghetti with plain tomato sauce. The amount of spaghetti I got was about the amount you'd get in a small can of Spaghetti-O's, and the sauce tasted like that's where it came from. When we got the electronic bill, I selected 20% for the tip (I didn't want to penalize the server, as I didn't feel any of the problems were her fault), but when they gave me the itemized print-out of the receipt, I noticed they applied the 20% to the entire amount, including the tax. Why would I tip the tax? The entire experience was the most disappointing I've had in a restaurant, especially a restaurant I used to love.

Best garlic knots i've ever had, fresh pasta and sauces are my favorite. Pizza is good coal fired, not my favorite but they are good (i'm more of a doughy pizza type guy).Only thing i wish is that they were open for lunch during the week, i'd come all the time, but open at 3pm isnt really suiting for me

Great upbeat and lively atmosphere. The staff is extremely attentive and friendly. I've been coming to this restaurant since it opened. Let me add that this place is not near home. I've literally tried everything on the menu and I love it all.
Both food and service were great. Love their arugula salad as well as their pizzas. When busy space is a little tight otherwise it's clean quaint place.

First off I will start with saying that their mini pies are delicious! The sauce is great and the mozzarella mouth watering. I walked in and ordered and it was ready in about 15 minutes. The service was great and the place is adorable old school Italian feel. They also have a cute bar area so you can hangout for happy hour as well. The only downfall is the parking it's located on a busy street and there's a municipal parking lot in the back
