Fodor's Expert Review Posto
A central wood-burning oven at this Davis Square spot churns out more than a dozen varieties of excellent tomato and "white" bubble-crusted pies (try the wood-fired apple, caramelized onions, fontina cheese, and gorgonzola pizza), while the kitchen crafts scrumptious starters and mains, like "nonna" meatballs, gnocchi with beef short ribs, and shrimp scampi. The central brick and glass-walled dining room (with sidewalk seating during fair weather) fills nightly, as this eatery succeeds at blending a classic Italian pizzeria, enoteca, and trattoria all together in a "farm chic" open-air concept. A smaller back room is perfect for young couples and the silver-hair set seeking a bit more privacy or peace and quiet. No matter where you sit, you're in for a terrific meal.
