Jeremy Garber: Simply put, amazing. Had the duck fat pizza for brunch. Definitely coming back for dinner
Pat M: Great food and service. Better value than expected. Share some small plates and half orders of pasta, then get cheese for dessert. Duh.
James Sullivan: Get the gnocchi!!! It destroys worlds. Before you take a bite, give one last prayer to whatever gods you believe in, then strap yourself down, and get ready for a mouth-gasm.
