    If you have a show at the Warfield, this is a great place to book - only 1/2 a block away. Good food, the Pinsas are delicious, with a nice chewy dough and many delicious toppings. Some good quality antipastos to choose from, and quite a few wine and beer choices. We got the spicy sausage and broccolini pinsa, and it was very good. The vanilla panna cotta with wild fennel pollen was a bit disappointing, but the espresso was great. Again, not much of a reason to visit the area outside of the Warfield, and parking is a bit tough to find, but the food and ambiance was great.

    Came in with a last min reservation for a random date night on a Monday at 7:15pm. Quickly seated in the exact booth we hoped for. Waiter was polite, food was quick and delicious. Ribeye was cooked to perfection we really enjoyed the chimichurri sauce that came with it, lobster Mac wasn’t too fishy, Roka salad was super tastey a must try IMO, potatoes were fine. We did not order and cocktails or dessert but definitely will next time! 10/10 for this meal!
