Reviewers rave about the Pizza de beridde as the standout dish, praising its bold, rustic flavors. The overall vibe is warm, unpretentious, and deeply satisfying.
“This is a pizza de beridde — almond pastry dough. Look how beautiful it is: low, crunchy, and full. It's used to degrease the palate after the ricotta, but it's also sweet and works on its own.”
