Description
This compact joint offers a taste of 70s and 80s Bronx Italian dining. The expansive menu covers wraps, burgers, and traditional entrees, though visitor experiences with the pizza and soup tend to vary. Beyond the red-sauce classics, some diners bypass the pizza in favor of the fried calamari or pair their meal with freshly squeezed grapefruit juice.
