Food is always solid. Haven't had a bad dish and have been there numerous times. They also have gelato there which is a nice way to end a good meal.

What's this hidden gem amongst the warehouses in West Berkeley? Plenty of street parking. Their warehouse high ceilings make the dining room a touch chilly but table candles give it a cozy look. Delicious freshly made pasta and a great selection of wines to pair it with. Great place to celebrate or have a romantic date night

Had an AMAZING late lunch here today w hubs & we ate soooo well Salad w burrato cheese, gnocchi w pesto & tomatoes, pizza- every dish stellar and perfect. Our server was phenomenal- managing about 12 tables by herself w a great chill attitude - whoa! Love the artwork and vibe of the place too. Homemade ice cream to boot?! OMG. It doesn't get any better than this. GO!! Just treat yourself & GO!!

I went to this restaurant when I saw this recommended on Yelp when I was looking for pizza. Parking is a little hard to come by, but not too bad. The restaurant inside is small and cozy. The staff there is friendly and helpful. During my visit I also saw that they sell gelato. The staff recommended some and offered samples which I tried. I ended up ordered a Fiori pizza and pistachio gelato. The pizza was very good, especially when you add a little kick of the chili oil. Ask for some and try it. As for the gelato, it is creamy and sweet. Loved them both. The pizza was so good, I went back within the week for lunch. Looking forward to going again for good pizza.

WOW! The pizza tastes great! Perfectly chewy crust. Enough pepperoni scattered on a bright red marinara sauce with buttery tangy melted mozzarella cheese topping. Bright high ceilings with walls that display the Gorgeous paintings by local artist Julie Ann Accornero. Her Mandalas invite you to look deeply and feel the healing Colors and Beauty.

This place is underappreciated and pretty much hidden gem! Everything I had here was delicious! Dish are organic, most if not all. Parking can be tough in a busy time, but when I have went it didn't take too long. Owner is very nice with a great interior. Restrooms shared with the coffee place next door. I've had the lasagna, Margherita pizza and some others, the fries, the affogato. All so good. Would definitely recommend. So worth.

We had a great dinner with exceptional service. I was disappointed that we were the first ones to be seated for the night and they were already out of items such as mussels and chocolate dessert items. The items we did enjoy were: - papardelle salmon: slight lemony taste which went well with the salmon of course and the papardelle was freshly made. I thought the salmon would have large pieces but instead were very small pieces, like crushed, but a good amount of it. The serving size was on the small side. - salad with spinach and pears: solid salad with gorgonzola cheese I believe and pears that paired nicely. It was a good serving size. - Margherita pizza: solid pizza but nothing really special. I could have used more basil on it or maybe The basil pieces were small that I didn't feel like it had enough. I did enjoy the spicy olive oil they give on the side for a nice kick. Awesome that there is plenty of parking available on the street. I also liked that they have a few gelato options on display. I enjoyed the ambiance, it is a cute restaurant!
