So my very high level of anticipation may certainly be partially to blame for my average-ish experience. I was pleasantly surprised to get a table with no wait at ~6:30 on a Wednesday evening. Staff were attentive and friendly. Prices were high, as expected, but at least the pizzas are of reasonable size. The $32 pasta portion probably could've been a bit more generous. But anyway, on to why we're all here - The Pizza: The crust had a great crunch but I felt lacked nuance beyond that, no chew and a touch on the dry side. Cheese and sauce were fine but also unremarkable. The heaps of basil provided some bright freshness that was definitely appreciated. I feel even more compelled now to try the NYC location for comparison! This wasn't a bad pizza by any stretch but not something I would ever pick over my favorite NYC standouts.

The menu has a nice variety of options, so it's easy to find something you're in the mood for whether you want something light or a more filling meal. Everything comes out quickly, but still tastes like it's made with care rather than rushed. The atmosphere is relaxed and casual, making it a perfect place to grab a quick lunch or an easy dinner without spending a lot. Overall, it's a reliable go-to when you want good food that won't break the bank.

Everyone wanted the mushroom truffle pizza so we ended up with two of them for the table. I ordered the homemade meatball, I was pleased with the size even though it is only one meatball. It also came with bread on the side so pretty good size for an appetizer. We had some confusion with the check at the end but the servers were able to resolve with no issues. They have a big bar in the center of the restaurant and tables all around. There is also a nice balcony with more tables if you want to be outside. Decoration is simple but cute and modern and they have pretty good specials thorough the week. Would be coming back for more pizza!

The small space has such a cozy charm that makes you feel like you're dining in the heart of Italy. Our server Mirko gave us time to review the menu and made sure to answer any questions we had. He was very friendly and attentive without overly hovering, and made sure everything arrived while it was still hot from the kitchen. The food was SPECTACULAR! A meal I will certainly never forget. The "Fiocchetti Pere & Parmigiano" was sweet but had a bite from the black sesame; I've never had anything like it. And the tiramisu was delectable without being too overly sweet. Even the wine was delicious! Can't wait to visit again.

They even brought out a Tiramisu for my birthday which I thought was insanely thoughtful. As long as this restaurant remains open they will ALWAYS have us as a customer!

This time I had the spaghetti alle vongole (clams): it is close to impossible to find good spaghetti alle vongole in the US, so I usually just make them myself at home, but I trusted this Neapolitan team to deliver -- and they did! The spaghetti were perfect, exactly like being in Italy. On top of that, we really enjoyed the service: Josefina was attentive and sweet, always on top of things. We will be back soon enough.

I think it was super impressive how fast they were making the pizzas. We went specifically for their $6 Margherita Monday special. The pizza came out very quick! And OMG it was absolutely to die for. If you like Neapolitan style pizza then this is the place for you! Made to order, that pizza makes it to the table smoking. The tomato sauce is so flavorful and sweet. And the cheese is perfectly melted. The dough is fluffy with just the right amount of chew. The staff is also super sweet. Everyone was very friendly. Highly recommend checking them out when in Miami Beach!

The plain pizza was the best one out of the two I ordered. The bad: the four cheese needs gorgonzola, otherwise it's bland and tasteless like this one was. The fries were raw, had to stick them in the oven for 20+ minutes which is ridiculous. How do they not see that the fries are extremely undercooked?! The pizza was also undercooked, the crust was the only thing that was cooked properly, had to throw the pizza in the oven for 15 minutes. May give them another try but with so many genuine 5-star pizza options I don't think I will.
