Very noisy restaurant that is almost always full for dinner. You can wait for a table, or they will call you when your table is ready after you've checked in. Despite this setback, their wood-burning-oven pizzas are delicious! I recommend the eggplant pizza or arugula pizza. Try going at lunchtime for a much quieter atmosphere and guaranteed table. No reservations.
