A “pizzeoli” (pizza chef) shapes handmade dough, tops it with fresh ingredients, then slides it into a wood-fired oven.

Appetizers, salads, sandwiches and desserts round out the menu. To keep kids (or playful grown-ups) busy before or after the meal, the restaurant has its own arcade with classic and new games.
