There’s nothing blue or cavelike about this chic pizzeria, which turned a long-neglected Brookside retail space into a soaring two-story restaurant. With an exhibition kitchen on the first floor, it’s a sleek, stunning series of dining areas in tones of charcoal, slate and ebony. All of those hard surfaces make it noisy on busy weekend nights, but that’s part of this restaurant’s appeal, perhaps. Chef Chris Graham bakes his pies in a fragrant, wood-burning oven so that the crust is light and just slightly crackly, and covers them with a limited number of appealing combinations such as the bubbling quattro formaggio with ricotta, asiago, aged Gouda and goat cheese; and the Four Seasons, with black olives, roasted red peppers, marinated artichoke hearts and roasted crimini mushrooms. The signature dishes are beautiful, but the desserts lack style

I ordered the Antipasti platter for dinner. The first ingredient on the menu is "Artisan Cheeses" so understandably, I thought there would be plenty of cheese on the platter. There were about 4, small, quarter sized SHAVINGS of cheese on this large platter. When I mentioned this to my server obviously thinking there had been an oversight, she stated the cheese was a "garnish" -- clearly not the way the menu was written -- and offered to bring more cheese. Imagine my surprise when $2.00 additional showed up on my bill! I paid the bill and mentioned my disappointment about the situation to the maitre d' on the way out. He could have cared less!! I won't be going back - not only does the menu over promise and under deliver, but the management is rude and clearly doesn't value the customer.
