"Great place for a quick lunch, however we came for pizza and were not given pizza menus. Sadly we’re tourists, don’t speak Italian and didn’t want to question. One waitress was kind, the other seemed angry. The gentleman at the register cashing us out seemed jovial, he giggled at my butchered Italian attempt. Lol I’d come back for another attempt, the pasta and gnocchi we got was ok, and everything other people ordered looked good. We just didn’t want to look (any more) stupid or be annoying asking for additional stuff, like Parmigiana or bread. Or different menus."
