Best Italian food I’ve had in DC. Well done classics. Rice balls, antipasto salad, and rainbow cookie cake are all delish

I've been here a few times and keep coming back. The pizza is elevated, drinks are really nice, and the price is just right. It's a bit difficult that they ask groups to buy a package, so we just reserved two groups of 5 to get around it - worked for us.

My friends and I were craving pizza after a fun night out, and this may be the best late-night pizza we’ve ever had. They made the pizzas to order (hot from the oven!), quickly, and the ingredients used seemed very fresh. The interior was very cute and we had great service at the bar. We tried the Supremo and The Standard, and everyone left satisfied!
