This undiscovered spot is consistently high quality over the last 5 visits, excellent with no waiting.
Delicious pizzas & appetizers. The pinzas allowed us to try different toppings, all yummy with great crusts. Compares very well to better pizzas in Napoli. The spritz were refreshing & service was delightful. Need to try the lasagna & gelato next time.

This is the best pizza I’ve had in California. As an Italian and CT native (where they have the best pizza in the country), this was absolutely delicious and authentic to the core. I hope this business does very well.

What a fantastic addition to downtown San Rafael! Our family enjoyed a lovely lunch featuring delicious hot Italian cuisine, complemented by a warm atmosphere and excellent service. We opted to sit on the patio since we brought our dog along, and the weather was perfect for it. Both the indoor and outdoor dining areas were beautifully arranged. We savored every dish; everything was fresh and tasted great. They even offer homemade gelato with a wide variety of flavors to choose from. We are definitely looking forward to returning to sample their dinner menu and perhaps enjoy some drinks as well.

I came in a few weeks ago and was pleasantly greeted by the workers. They were so sweet and explained the menu and answered my tedious questions regarding slices. The kind worker also gave me such yummy samples of the gelato and I was so surprised ! Their flavors absolutely blew me away. The Nutella type one was so creamy and delicious as well at the sour lemony shaved ice type gelato! I highly recommend the gelato and the pizza was super yummy too just a bit small for a slice. I paid around $7 for a slice and around 5.50 for a scoop of gelato. Overall just really cute environment on the inside as well as really nice workers! Great place to come checkout.

As someone who prioritizes organic and fresh food, I was really pleased with this new Italian spot and the quality of their menu. Plus, it’s a great place for grabbing lunch!
Fabrizio’s service was excellent – very attentive and friendly. The pizzas we ordered, Diavola and Stella, tasted fresh and had that distinct handmade quality – a solid pizza experience. And the gelato! Both the Strawberry and Gianduia were delicious, but the Strawberry was next level!
They also have a nice selection of Italian products. Highly recommended!

Great place for a pizza and a glass of wine. Love the pinsa size. Wine by the glass is available in multiple sizes so you can try more than one or just have a little taste.
For a real touch of Italy, have oe take home some San Carlo potato chips. They are my favorite when I’m in Italy.

Right in the main center of San Rafael, parking may be a little tough on these busy streets but there are some parking lots surrounding. With both indoor and outdoor patio seating, it is such a vibe! They have fridges with drinks, wines, meats, and other items you can purchase! They have a full menu from salads, sandwiches, pizzas, pastas, calzones, drinks, and desserts esp the gelato! The salads, Foccacia, pizza, and meats were SO good! They have both alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. The workers were super friendly and hospitable!

Great pizzas, wines, and gelatos! Friendly and helpful service. Back patio is dog friendly. One of the few places you can find Pinsa! There’s public parking about a block away.

Lovely and authentic Italian vibe, espresso, gelato and pizza, it feels like being there.
Good pizzas, excellent wine and beer selection, friendly and welcoming service.
A must go!
Don’t miss the baladin beer, that’s boutique beer from Cuneo, Italia.
Next time I’ll try their special Spritz and their ice cream.

Had the most amazing experience tonight! Everything was so much better than I imagined I could get without a flight to Italy. Really can’t recommend the delicious food enough. Service not super speedy but they also got a pizza out for the kids lighting speed which made my night. I’d come again also even just for the desserts which were all amazing. Santos, our server was delightful. happy hour with the cheapest food I’ve had in years
