| - Consistently good food! Their pizzas are wonderful (and you can select from a couple of different types of dough) but their sides are really what do it for me! Be sure to try their Brussels sprouts!
The restaurant itself is small and always busy, but as they don't take reservations, you'd do well to go early or be prepared for a wait.
They have food and drinks feature pretty much every night to keep things interesting. Their cocktails are pretty good, so keep an eye out for their cocktail specials.
Defina has a private event space upstairs (aptly named "The Upstairs") that I've used on two occasions, once for my birthday and the other time for our small wedding lunch.
The Upstairs is a bright, gorgeous space, with its own (full) bar, bathroom and AV. There's a coat rack too. I worked with the owner on a menu to suit both events; they charge a fee per person, and add the cost of drinks on top.
To start off the event, they offer appertizer boards (cured meats, cheeses, fruit and roasted veg with amazing breads) as well as a welcome cocktail and can do a lovely family style table, complete with white table cloths and flowers. It makes for a lovely ambience! I pre-ordered a selection of food (pizzas and sides) and they brought the food out. My only gripe was that the food could have come out sooner, but because our guests had had appetizers, they weren't starving :p
For the wedding, there were couches and a little area that served as a play area for our little guests, which was helpful. Overall, The Upstairs is a gorgeous, intimate space that's excellent for small, intimate events! Brava Defina!
