This is not your typical pizzeria. We learned about this place in Wine Spectator. Rated one of the best restaurants for those bug Barolo red wines from Italy. The food is authentic and outstanding. The atmosphere is casual. On Wednesdays wine by the bottle is half price. Highly recommend this place.
