Behrad EatsJanuary 20, 2016Start off with the delicious appetizer of Coccio: garbanzo beans, Fior di latte mozzarella, Bulgarian feta, olive oil. Served with celery & freshly baked crostini bread. It's like Italian hummus!

Sam SherwoodSeptember 13, 2016If you're sharing, I'd recommend one of the white pie variants. The tomato pizzas can get a soggy in the middle when cutting. The pizza dough wrap with sausage and broccoli raab is 🏅- Chris SJune 26, 2014If you LOVE PIZZA you gotta visit this joint!One of the best pizza I ever had!

Tammy GordonSeptember 6, 2013Great little spot with outdoor patio, near Rhode Island metro. I loved the Chef's Special pizza, piled high with arugula & prosciutto.
Great Neapolitan pizza, and even sandwiches are made with pizza dough. Salads with fresh arugula and some creative cocktails. Tiny, but worth multiple visits.
ZoeJune 25, 2017Pizza is amazing. The dough is flavorful, soft and crispy. Their pizza oven works wonders.

Richard RevillaAugust 12, 2017Seating is very limited but the Pizza is amazing and great beer on the menu. Service could use an uptick.
Jon HartDecember 8, 2019What isn’t good here? Service, beer, food, and deserts were top notch. With two young boys, Dawnelle helped make the experience awesome!
Washington PostAugust 6, 2014Serious pie enthusiasts have made the pilgrimage to Menomale since its 2012 opening for Ettore Rusciano's authentic Neapolitan pizza. Read more
Eating here reminds me of eating in Europe where ingredients are fresh, beer is the preferred drink over water, and a high-quality meal doesn't cost you an arm and a leg.
Adriana JavierMarch 24, 2014Beautiful restaurant space, wonderful atmosphere, and last but certainly not least, amazingly delicious pizza!
The pizza is so good you don't need to load it with toppings. The simple pizzas are phenom and don't miss the frozen lemon sorbet.
Raquel AJuly 17, 2013Authentic Italian food! Get the pollo verde sandwich or the caseificio sandwich. Both amazing! They're made from pizza dough!
Colleen NSeptember 20, 2014From Washingtonian: Inconsistency has crept in of late, but always a favorite is the crust holding prosciutto, arugula, and cherry tomatoes
Every time I go here I feel like Im back in Italy! Have not had a bad meal here and the beer selection is wonderous!
- Chris SJune 26, 2014Must try "Di ettore (chef’s special)" pizza! You gonna love it! So freaking good.
BrockDecember 30, 2012I give it a 12! Best Italian I've had since Europe. Have to try la bomba for dessert!
Bradford RileyDecember 26, 2015Brooklandissima pizza with pepperoni and house cheese sampler to start.- Reagan BarbosaFebruary 25, 2017The dough is done right, but the sauce and the sausage had no flavor. Go to Graffiato or 2 Amy's for great Italian pizza.
EvanOctober 15, 2016Terrific pizza with a good chew. Mostly friendly though inattentive and inconsistent service.

- The la bomba is amazing! Kinda an Italian chocolate filled doughnut.
