Sips, slices & What They're Saying

Everything we wanted

Cork and crust was everything we hoped it would be! It was the perfect place to go before a show. The pizza was delicious and the drinks were out of this world! Our server, Sam, was knowledgeable, kind, personable, and very good at his job! We will definitely be back!

Had a Blast.

Service: The warm and welcoming staff was attentive and on point. - Cocktails: The Puglia Sunset & Palermo Spritz were our faves. - Food: We enjoyed everything we tried. The Baby Gem and Panzanella salads were picture-worthy and flavorful. They somehow developed their own unique twist on pizza (in a delicious way). The Drunken Rigatoni was a winner too.

Tremendous experience

The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. Eager to answer any questions about the menu while being joyful and inviting. My mother and I got to choose from an array of dishes and I can honestly say it really wouldn’t have matter what we picked because everything was amazing. So much so that guests asked each other what the others were having because the food looked and smelled alluring. Vibrant colors and wafting aromas. Food was cooking and served without any flaws or missteps. Flavors stunned and delighted while satisfying to the upmost standards. Drinks were made to perfection the freshest ingredients. Italian sodas are a must try. Throughly enjoyed the experience and I look forward to returning to taste the whole menu and get one of their amazing pizzas. Thank you to the staff for a tremendous experience. Absolutely will be back asap.

We will be back soon!

Loved our recent lunch! We are thrilled that Kristin Butterworth is the chef after her long tenure at LeTrec in Nemoclin resort. We arrived at 2pm upon opening and were seated immediately. The young bartender waited on us and he was very professional. We split a Baby Gem Salad which was a wedge of small leaf fresh lettuce garnished with sun-dried tomatoes, castelvatrano olives, garlic crumb parmesean dressing. I had the crispy Holy Shitaki pizza and my husband ordered a pasta dish called "Truffle Makes Everything Better". Both dishes were absolutely delicious. We finished lunch with Chocolate Panna Cotta which was fantastic! The bar menu features a long list of cocktails and liquor but I opted for a glass of Mer Solei Caymus Chardonnay. We loved the ambiance and will definitely return soon!
