This is not a joke. Artichoke is not pizza. It is a delicacy. Don't even think about it like pizza. Go there and order the "artichoke slice." You cannot visit the village and not eat this. Just trust us.

There a few of these throughout the city. THE BEST meatballs you will ever have. Easy to order several things and share with friends. Full bar (but the cocktails not so worth the price, in our opinion). A pleasant atmosphere, but the meal won't break the bank.
