Turned up about 20mins before they're supposed to open and they let me and a lesbain couple in. Really friendly service, fire place and wood fired pizza oven. Interesting decor, nice place to chill out in.

Fun bar and restaurant. Seems to be one of the most buzzing places in Williamsburg these days, as it’s frequently full and hard to get a sit at night and weekends. Never ate there unfortunately, but the cocktails that I tried were pretty good and...Read More

Truffle Mac and cheese was great, the quatro formaggi pizza was amazing, and the skirt steak was cool to a perfect medium rare (it needed a bit is salt). The empanadas were excellent, but maybe a bit over priced. The service was excellent and the...Read More

This is my favorite pizza place in Williamsburg. It’s pet friendly, the atmosphere is amazing, servers are super nice and pizzas are unbelievably delicious. My favorite is Quattro Stagioni. Very close to European style pizza. And yea, they have great wine selection as well!
