This restaurant offers take-out of all items, and customers can watch their meals being prepared on the open grill, which dominates the interior. While not exclusively a pizza menu, there are more than 30 formal choices---many more if you add up all the variations possible with the Ti Piace pizza (Italian for create your own). The two most popular are the margherita pizza (sun-dried tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, virgin olive oil) and the Italian chicken pizza. But not everyone comes for the pasta or the pizzas. Popular entrées include Chicken Bryan, which is chicken breast finished with a lemon-butter sauce, sun-dried tomatoes and fresh basil. Another option is the lobster ravioli (pasta stuffed with lobster in a white wine sauce with diced tomatoes). There are different nightly specials---from veal chops to pork chops to rack of lamb to chicken Marsala. Other locations.
