Has anyone been? Did a EG search and came up empty. Opened by Roberto, of Roberto's on Crescent Avenue.

The place looks very promising:

Anybody been?? Apparently it opened recently and has some lineage to Roberto's.....It sounds great. The tip came from Authur Schwartz's letter....

from his newsletter

So have I.

Pretty good pizza. Ask for it well done, though.

On EG's recommendation, we went. Very pretty space. Nice appetizer of buffalo mozzarella, canelli beans, roast peppers and out of season tomatoes.
The pizza was good, not great. I had a broccoli rabe, buffalo mozzarella and sausage pizza. The quality of the sausage was no where as good as Nick's.
The crust was good, but became soggy on the plate. The DH had a ham, olive, tomato and Mozz pizza. Also good, not mind blowing. I would happily go there again when on Arthur Ave. No need for a special trip. We got there at 12 pm sharp to get a seat. The place filled up slowly, so no need to rush.
A note of advice; unless you need to, do not shop on Arthur Ave. right before Palm Sunday or Easter. It's a mob scene. Got some amazing veal shanks though.
