(471)

Enjoy a local b**r on tap and an all-Italian w**e list. Neapolitan-style pizzas, including classics like the Margherita and Marinara, as well as a selection of antipasti, insalate, and paninis. The all-Italian w**e list features many bottles, with choices by the glass. Easy and urban, the restaurant seats just 30 diners, half at tables and the rest around the convivial bar. Local designers Michael Hsu and Kasey McCarty restored the historic 130-year-old building to its original luster. The centerpiece of the backspace is a Forni Cirigliano wood-fired pizza oven, custom-made and shipped over from Naples, the only one like it in Austin.

Full tables are more fun. Especially if you’re hurting tomorrow. Happy Halloween! :)Peroni        **r

Seeing which of our pizzas would survive a horror movie…let us know what you think in the comments!!

Marinara: dies right away, no meat on her bones…

Bianca: foreign exchange student, really confused with what’s going on. Hides upstairs and makes it.

Mushroom: trips, falls, dies before the “horror” part of the movie even starts.

Margherita: goes into the basement because she thinks her boyfriend, Meatball, is down there, and that’s the noise she heard - dies in the basement.

Meatball: In the basement texting other girls, dies before Margherita gets down there.

Cacciocavello: Cool younger sister. Not invited to the party but snuck in. Has a plan to trap the murderer. Makes it out alive.

Cacciocavello add sausage: Doesn’t trust his little sister cacciocavello regular, and dies in the process. At least he called the cops though.

Fennel Sausage: Plot twist, murderer is deathly allergic to fennel and dies before killing Fennel Sausage.
