Ailie Chang: Such a cozy place! You can't go wrong with the Chicken or Lamb plate. Get lots of Pita and Tzatziki sauce!

Anastasia Bogomolov: Cozy. Cute. And...everything is amazing -- a must visit. Plates are on the smaller size but the flavors make up for it. Enjoy! ***Different menu every week.
Dean: Prix fixe, seasonally changing menu, local ingredients, delicious food. Tiny place, but cozy and comfortable. Make reservations. Probably the best meal you'll find in Austin.
Ranu Rajkarnikar: Amazing dinner spot. Love the flexible prixe fixe and cozy interior. Friendly service and great wine list. Don't miss the crudo, dessert with cake and camembert or the spiced gnocchi. #idreamofcrudo

Christopher Horsley: It says it's a pizzeria but it feels more like a cozy wine bar! Two thumbs up!
Austin Chronicle: This cozy spot shares space with a 2,700-pound Neapolitan brick oven firing rustic, insanely good pizza. For antipasti, we flip for the roasted Brussels sprouts with pancetta and Pecorino Romano. Read more.
