Description
Established in 2010 by owners Fabio and Ciro Casella, the restaurant extends its menu beyond pizza to regional specialties from Campania and Salerno alongside classic pasta dishes. The Neapolitan pies are prepared with a crunchy crust showing charred tips, but the kitchen also turns out a fresco burger served in a thin, chewy pizza-crust bun with sun-dried pepper spread. Guests can dine at the bar or in the dining room, which accommodates both dates and group gatherings over a selection of appetizers and Italian wines.
