This place use to be one of our go-to restaurants but on our last visit, the menu had totally changed as had the chef. We used to go for the excellent pinsas, but now the pinsa options were drastically reduced and a lot of our favorite dishes were gone. The food was ok, but not as good as it had been (e.g., the original pinsas and octopus). They also used to accommodate a butter pasta for kids, but this time made it seem like a difficult unusual request. Moreover the saddest part was the decline in the ambiance. The mood of the place was desolate, depressed, no energy with disgruntled staff yelling and overall not an enjoyable environment or experience. Sadly, we will have to find another place for pinsas/pizzas.

Our servers were delightful- but we were very disappointed that our favorite dessert - pistachio cream on pinsa dough - had been taken off the menu and a new chef was now “entree forward.” My pork shoulder meal was outstanding.

What a treat to find fresh sardines on the menu. I wish there were more than two. They were gone in a flash. Our waitress, Erin, was both professional and warm. She accommodated our interest in the red wines by the glass and our need to leave early. This was our first visit. Next time, we will allow more time to explore the interesting and creative menu.

This smaller version of Montesacro Pinseria is great for many reasons, including location, availability and friendly service. The food is consistently delicious-seasonal salads, pastas and pinsas are amazing. Server Erin was smart (we ordered the wrong wine & she kindly gave us a taste before we ended up with sparkling), friendly, and paced our courses perfectly. Can’t wait to return!

The food was delicious. Service was wonderful. The restaurant is beautifully decorated. The ambiance is quaint, cozy and comfortable. The restaurant was full and yet it was easy to have a comfortable conversation. The acoustics are good. The menu includes gluten free items for those who cannot tolerate gluten. I will return for certain.

The food here was delicious. The ambience wonderful and the service fantastic. We went on Thanksgiving for the Price fix menu and the reason we didn’t give five stars is because we were not full when we left. The portions were a little too small. For the price it cost I would’ve thought we would’ve walked away feeling satiated.

The food is always delicious! The location promotes difficult parking and a boisterous environment, perfect for chic young loud crowds, but my partner and I could barely hear one another. But all great places have gone this way. Plenty of people of all ages there, it's just that we couldn't compete. The service was fantastic and personal, and the meal a treat! Will just have to go earlier in the week.
