What more can you ask for when all ingredients are imported from Italy and kitchen techniques are strictly old-world? When the prosciutto selection makes your mouth water? Of course not forgetting the fire-stoked oven that makes the pizza crust crisp and with a hit of charbroiled flavor.
This is a great place to go and feel like you are hiding out in some small corner of Rome. The ambiance is rustic with exposed-brick walls, yellow light, wrought iron accents, and high ceilings. We started out with a salumi misto plate ($12) and followed up with 2 pizzas ($10-$12 per pizza). While I think their wine and spumanti selections were a little over priced, the food more than made up for it.
This is a great place to go with a small group or from what I could see a large one in the back hall.
A few words to the wise: Be prepared for a wait (the bar beckons). The entire menu is in Italian so be prepared to navigate your way with your waiter if you do not know Italian. Don't be disappointed--they are always closed on Monday and Tuesdays.
