The glow from the restaurant's wood-burning oven carries a warm welcome to the unpretentious neighborhood crowd. The narrow front room lined with wooden tables opens into an indoor/outdoor back dining room, overlooking potted herbs that top the pies. Generous toppings grace the more than 20 pies, organized by first, second and third generation. Even on the classic, normally spare, margherita, the rich mozzarella nearly overpowers the sweet tomato sauce; yet the richness is addicting. The thin crust, charred black around the edges, adds a smokey dimension to each slice.

This is a very nice Italian restaurant and the owners are really friendly. They live in town so it is nice to get to know them. The food is good and reasonably priced. They also do a very nice catering for a party or other event.

Beautiful italian food, if you have a deep pocket, but I will eccomended for the true italian experience. It is worth it the trip to brooklyn, I never found nothing similar in the city.

Truly delicious pizza - the Lombardi, with proscuitto and arugula, and the Margherita are my favorites. It's a comfortable neighborhood place, though service can be a bit unattentive at times. The tiramisu is some of the best I've ever had.
