This is one of our favorite go-to restaurants especially when it’s nice enough to sit outside. The pizza here is huge and you can get several sections with various toppings, perfect for us since my husband doesn’t do parmigiana and I don’t do prosciutto. They also have a delicious zucchini and shrimp pasta(garganelli con zucchini e gamberi) that is very tasty! It is hard to go wrong here with any of the menu choices. For dessert, try getting a tartufo bianco o nero affogato al caffè, this is a ball of either white or dark chocolate ice cream covered in an espresso coffee shot. Sounds strange, but it’s the best! The place is pretty big but can get crowdy quickly, definitely call in advance and make a reservation especially if you want to get a seat outside. Good for large groups and famillies(high chairs available for small children). We have always found the service to be nice and attentive.

Unlike the not so stellar reviews, I am actually a big fan of ‘Orto del Cigno”. The pizza’s are massive, plan to share one with at least one other person, and they have great first plates(I normally pick seafood). Sometimes the service is lacking(the waiters can be brusque and not so attentive” but I think the food is great. If you are looking for the classic«napoli» this is not your place but the pizza is more«new york style». I recommend the scamorza and speck pizza. Their house wine is good and a decent price. The outside garden is very pretty and you MUST make reservations as it tends to always be crowded.
