    The food and service were exceptional. We ordered the burrata appetizer special, so fresh and tasty with the spicy salami. We ordered the Margarita pizza and the Fichi pizza. It was a lot of food, we took the extra pizza home. Both were delicious, great flavors and love the texture of the crust. Also the bread with the eggplant for the table was also very good! Our waitress, can’t recall her name was friendly and helpful with answering any questions that we had. We would definitely go back again!
