I shared the special pizza of the night and I think it was the best pizza I have ever had in your restaurant. It has dried figs, blue cheese, fontina, arugula, green onions, mozzarella and carmelized onions on it. This pizza was perfection - bravo chef! I also had the crispy chick peas to start. What a great hit of protein. The service was very good and it was an enjoyable start to my evening!
