A great Italian pizzeria in the respect of the napolitain traditions. They offer 9 varieties of pizza cooked in one of their 2 wood ovens, which they build themselves. The ingredients cannot be switched or replaced in the respect of the recipes. You can add extra virgin olive oil or fresh basilic leafs, but no salt or pepper.

They offer a varieties of antipasti like the bruschetta and also some traditional desserts like the tiramisu. They offer wines from their private importation and suggest some red and a white paring with each pizza.

The restaurants have long tables of 12 places each. Perfect for group or families.

Also in the restaurant, plenty of spices, pastas, rices, olive oils and other Italian condiments ready to be bought for your own recipes.

The service was implacable and they took the time to explain their concept before we order so there are not misconception or false expectations.

We have a chalet near by, we have ordered from Steforno a few times. This was the last time we would order food, or eating in after this awful experience. Seriously, the manager should train her staff for...
