A great neighborhood spot for people with dogs as there is outdoor seating. Service is crazy quick. Pizzas are really good. Salads are big and fresh. Plus $4 high life, can't beat it. Can be pretty crowded with families w/ small children if that's not your thing.

Went here for a friend's BD dinner and had a good time. The only downside was that it was super loud. I will acknowledge, however, that it was a Sunday night and the football game was on. The waiter was nice and was super kind. I would recommend this place if you are in the area, but I would not go out of my way to come here. More

This place is a hidden gem of South Slope! The pizza is out of this world, the salads are surprisingly really well thought out and fresh, the salmon is so crispy and juicy, the service is top notch, the drink selection is excellent, and the charming location right on 6th Ave is so quaint and neighborly. We used to live around the corner and come here all the time, you HAVE to check it out.

Our favorite neighborhood restaurant. Chill vibes, friendly and attentive service, great food at a great value (especially for the area). The garlic knots should be entered in a national competition IMO. Also love the pecorino cauliflower, the gigantic salads, and all the pizzas. Oh and the cast iron cookie for dessert. 😋 FYI they often have sports playing with sound on (especially football on Sundays) if that bothers you.

Stopped here by chance and came back two more times before the end of our trip. I can’t rave enough about the place, the staff, jay and cinthya, made us feel so welcome, all the food we got was tremendous, even with our long stay and all the things we got to experience this will be the place and the people we appreciate and miss the most.
