W-O-W A must eat. Quite possibly the best brick oven pizza and gnocchi I have EVER had. The whole experience was amazing. We came in a bit early 5:30. The chef himself came out to the table and introduced himself and brought us home made foccia (Bliss try it) . I started with soup past fagiole (Tuscan white bean soup) perfectly seasoned and the carponata(eggplant, capers, vinegar, and olives), which had the perfect balance of sweet and sour. We then spilt the fennel salad in a lemon vinaigrette which was wonderfully crunchy and fresh with a nice bite of fresh cracked pepper ( perfect amount of dressing). Now for the pizza. I have eaten pizza all over New York as a Brooklyn native for 30 years. This is one of the best acts in town I have seen in many years. Don't take my word for it. Try it. We had to order 2 pizzas. Of course any brick oven pizza place you must have the Margherita (so we did) and the Prosciutto. Perfectly done crisp thin crust like I have not tasted since Grimaldis was good. It was a masterpiece. Perfectly cooked and Smokey in taste. You could taste the fresh mozzarella, tomato and basil. The Prosciutto pizza was the same. The gnocchi were like eating weightless little pillows in a garden of fresh tomatoes served in a ceramic dish right out of the brick oven. I will certainly be back for more.
