For a taste of nostalgia, try the Grandma Pie. This squared-off spin on home-style pizza is made just the way countless nonnas crafted them: By hand-stretching dough into a olive oil-brushed black steel baking pan—resulting in a thin, crisp, and golden crust—adding a layer of mozzarella cheese, spooning tomato sauce over the top, and adding a sprinkle of fresh basil. Of course, these traditional pies benefit from being baked in a wood-fueled brick oven. Partner with a draft Peroni—even Grandma would approve.
HANDS-ON
With all house-made components—dough, mozzarella, and tomato sauce—flavors don’t come any fresher or more authentic.
FORK IT OVER
Wildly popular Penne alla Vodka starts with high-quality pasta—with a homemade taste—imported from Italy. Cooked al dente, this short-cut pasta provides a satisfying mouth-feel and plenty of surfaces where the luscious, prosciutto-flecked pink cream sauce can cling.
ATMOSPHERE
Earthy elements of stone, brick and wood lend an air of Old World intimacy to the bar area, while the high-ceilinged dining room keeps the mood bright, relaxed, and modern. Stop by the bar during happy hour from 4 to 6 p.m. for discounted drinks and well-priced bites, and be sure to peruse the list of inventive cocktails that celebrate the season.
WHAT’S THE 411?
Groups can create a dining adventure by ordering assorted starters to share—with the likes of Fried Calamari, Wings, Rice Balls, Clams Casino, and Italian Meatballs, there’s something for everyone—then split several traditional or off-beat pizzas, such as a Louisville Slugger with pulled pork or Sesame Chicken with sweet chili sauce. For dessert, top a pie with cannoli cream or Nutella with fresh strawberries.
Don’t desert your dog! In warm weather, four-legged family members can enjoy pet-friendly dining on the patio.
