| - It was our first time at 7 and we were really looking forward to it. When we arrived on Saturday, they told us there is a 40 min wait (or less) and took our phone number so that they can call us when the table is free. They don't take reservations on Fridays and Saturdays yet. We didn't know where else to go to wait, so the hostess suggested the Green Bean Coffee Shop (which is owned by the same owner). Good idea from a marketing point of view :) We went there and got some tea, because it was cold out. We were hungry though and they only had sweet stuff available. So finally they called us and told us the table was ready. We got sited at a really cozy table next to the wall. It was a bit chilly inside, but not too bad. The waiter took our orders and brought us some bread. Bread arrived on a plate drizzled with some olive oil and sprinkled with a bit of salt (I think). We got grilled calamari for an appetizer, but they ran out of calamari and gave us octopus instead, which was much better! It was very tender and grilled to perfection! For our mains we got a sausage pizza (which my friend said was really good), a buffalo mozzarella pizza (which was also delicious - I tried a piece!) and a Matteo pizza. I was really looking forward to that pizza, because everyone in the reviews suggested it. I believe it was supposed to be drizzled with honey or something like that, but on the menu it didn't say that and even though the pizza was good, because of the pecorino cheese, it was a bit too salty! Next time I would go with the buffalo mozzarella one. The crust I thought was delicious, a bit on a doughy side though, but still very good. They put a lot of toppings on top of the pizza (the prosciutto was delicious and not salty). The menu is not huge, but they say they change it up from time to time. The place itself is very cozy. I would probably come back again and share the buffalo mozzarella pizza (the whole pizza is too big for one person I find (which is never a bad thing : )).
