The meatballs as appetizers are pretty good. They are moist with good gravy served with beautifully presented ricotta.My salad is enjoyable as well. Not overly dressed with seasoned croutons. Our waitress was nice , friendly, and attentive

Stumbled upon this place while walking through Passyunk Ave and what an absolutely pleasant surprise! We were confused between the two red pies: Arrabbiata and the Calabrese but decided on the latter which has pepperoni, long hots, Calabrian chili paste, burrata, and hot honey. That pizza is goooood... AND Hot!! It is legit one of the spiciest and most delicious pizza I have ever had. We also tried the Tiramisu which was not only delicious but perfect to balance out the heat of the pizza. Service was a breeze as well. Absolutely returning to try their white pies.

Sat upstairs and service was a little slow, but super friendly. DRINKSI'll never get this and I know it happens elsewhere, but our table of 6 got one food menu for each person and only one drink menu for the table to pass around. The draft list was only available scrawled on a tattered piece of receipt paper from the server. Why?? I ordered a draft beer, and was mistakenly brought a canned option from the same brewery. Felt bad sending it back, so I said I'd drink it. Once it was on the table, I realized the can was luke warm at best and the pint glass it came with was red hot, fresh out of the dishwasher. I did order the original draft beer next, but it was also barely above room temp. I normally would have had another drink, but stopped ordering after that.STARTERSStarted with the ricotta bread board which was pretty tasty, but the bread arrived all stacked up like a log cabin on a faux slate plastic slab, and the ricotta was in a mason jar that was a bit hard to serve and share. This was the best thing of the night. Also had the calamari which came mixed with fried zucchini. Tasted just okay, but the portion was very small. The table tried some other apps that didn't get any super positive reactions.MAINGot the eggplant parm sandwich, and it was brought to the table in two pieces since it comes on the same slate-style plastic slab that the bread board was served on, and the server said everything tends to fly off the slab when they bring it out. The sandwich was a decent size, but it was barely warm, and it tasted like it was fried in old, stale oil. The roll it came on tasted like it's baked with the same sourdough they use for the pizza, but it was just too much - it might work for the pizza when it's covered in sauce and cheese and other toppings, but as a giant sandwich roll, the sourness was the only think you could taste and was just really tough to bite into as each half of the roll was like 2" thick. Between the stale eggplant and sour bread, the flavor was really off. It came with a side of fries served in one of those novelty mini fryer baskets. They were alright.Maybe it was an off night, but between the cold food and warm drinks, underwhelming flavors, and the silly plating of things it was overall a bust. Probably 2.5 stars but the server was cool. It all just made me miss Birra even more.

Vibes: minimalistic, intimate; bring a friend or a few Tasting notes:- Panzanella: just the right amount of sweet; well mixed in terms of textures and dressing coating; good size for two people- Arancini: served piping hot with an incredibly crunchy coating that does not crumble with the crack of a spoon; smooth, creamy, umami interior with lovely surprises of meat; tomato sauce is deep in flavor; overall a balanced, not too heavy dish- Capricciosa: loved the pieces of ham and fresh basil; excellent tang to dough; a fun pizza with a lot going on Other thoughts:- weeknight later in the evening was able to get a table without a wait- fairly quick turnaround from ordering to hot food landing on the table from the kitchen Impression: excited to come back to try the rest of the big menu with friends!

Would have been five starsThey have great food, an i teresting menu, the sidewalk cafe wxperience is pleasant, the server may have been new. Maybe distracted, but getting a beer from this guy was way too difficult. Also it can be annoying when is takes a while for the server to remove the. empty plates, this may look like an abandoned table but we are waiting for more drinks and food. We have only wmpty glasses at the moment. I wonder how long desert will rake to come out.

A busy and bustling spot for great pizza. The service was excellent and the food was exceptional. To start we got the fried calamari which was very lightly breaded and delicious. Slightly on the smaller portion size but perfect for two especially since the cuts were big. Last, we got the vodka roni which was so delicious and made with homemade vodka sauce. Everything was so fresh! The pizza was perfect - not too thick, not too thin! The crust was amazing as well. Highly recommend!

Food was good, service was solid, it was very much a no-frills kind of atmosphere which I appreciated. Just good quality food, clean environment, and good service. The food was a bit pricey for what it was, but we popped in randomly on a Friday without reservations and we're able to be seated pretty quickly which is hard to find especially on this stretch of Passyunk.

We had such a great time at this location. Everything we had was delicious. The fried burrata was something I had never had before and it was delicious! The Salsiccia pizza was also amazing. The vibes inside were also great inside. The hostess was awesome and so was our server. The people sat next to us were also super nice and having a great time. Great vibes all around.
