“their house made aioli was exceptional - like properly emulsified with bright lemon and jsut enough garlic to work without overpowering. you can tell theyre making it fresh daily instead of using store bought mayo as a base”

“the mushroom risotto was completely overcooked and gluey, obviously stirred way too hard and probably reheated. any real chef knows you cant rush risotto or treat it like regular rice haha”

“lowkey pizza by teh slice jsut hits different here crispy bottom good cheese pull and not crazy expensive for berkeley nuff said”

“slices sit under heat lamps too long so the edges get all dried out and chewy”

“ok so their wood fired pizza is legit - those charred leopard spots on the crust, fresh mozzarella wiht real stretch, they dont skimp on toppings. plus solid beer list if youre doing day drinking on the patio”

“service moves at berkeley time so youll be nursing that first beer forever while you wait for food”

“the wood fired oven runs hot enough for proper neapolitan char on THE crust while keeping the inside tender. sauce has goood acidity and they get that you shouldn't over sauce everything”

“the basil on my margherita was wilted which like... basil should go on AFTER the pizza comes out so it stays bright and fresh skip it”

“got a good spot at teh bar adn the bartender was super attentive - kept my water full, checked in at the right times and actually gave good recommendations from thier taps solo dining done right skip it”

“music was cranked SO loud i couldn't even hear myself think let alone talk to the bartender. not great when youre eating alone and kinda hoping to chat with someone”

“they actually have gluten free pizza crust that doesn't taste like cardboard AND the server knew exactly what toppings were safe. legit finally felt normal ordering pizza in berkeley no joke”

“the gluten free crust costs extra and they prepare it on the same surfaces as regular dough so cross contamination is definitely a thing if you have serious sensitivity”
