The pizza is fire oven baked and amazing and I would argue better than Delfina's! An added interesting fact... it's run and owned by people who are deaf. Don't worry if you don't know sign language, they have paper you can write on. I HIGHLY suggest this place! (the eggplant parmigiana is one of the best I've had)

Drinks & Nightlife
Unfortunately there will probably be a line outside, but if it's a manageable line it's worth it. The drinks are lovely, but you're most there for the roof top bar action.
