The secret-garden setting is the secret to the success of this popular European pizzeria, where you can dine under a canopy of century-old banyans in a charming courtyard. Specialties are 12-inch hand-tossed brick-oven pizzas with such interesting toppings as prosciutto, arugula, and caviar. There's even a dessert pizza topped with Nutella. Piping hot calzones, salads, and sandwiches round out the selection. Look for the grave markers of Addison Mizner's beloved pet monkey, Johnnie Brown, and Rose Sachs's dog Laddie (she and husband Morton bought Mizner's villa and lived there 47 years) next to the patio. Delivery is available—by limo, of course.
