Enjoy a local beer on tap and an all-Italian wine list. Neapolitan-style pizzas, including classics like the Margherita and Marinara, as well as a selection of antipasti, insalate, and paninis. The all-Italian wine 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.

Is the wood fired char our secret ingredient? 🔥

Maybe, but there are a few other ingredients too…
