Your attention will get drawn over to the ceiling-mounted cupid installations, handcrafted furniture, and a 30-foot bar constructed of art stone and decorated with culinary supplies and liquor bottles. Everything will transport you to the cobblestone streets of Italy, including wood-fired pizzas baked with 00 wheat, homemade pasta and risotto, and one of the best wine lists in the city. You should try the South City Pizza, which we did, as you'll adore it! A thick Roma tomato sauce covers homemade soft pizza bases, which are then topped with meat mince, mozzarella, and three different kinds of mushrooms. Served in a large glass with a Budweiser ding, Cloud Nine Iced Tea is a potent LIIT that contains six alcohols, Red Bull, and a hint of blue curacao. It's the perfect cocktail for two people! We drank the watermelon martini, which was served within the watermelon atop a gigantic martini glass. It was a seasonal special! After that, we got a Caldera beer, sangria, and a glass of wine. We also personally loved the Ravioli con Alla Zafferano! And of course, when you're at an Italian restaurant, tiramisu is a must--but let me tell you, the way my eyes rolled to the back of my head? Chef's kiss!
