Known for its signature Neapolitan pizzas, baked with simple ingredients (raw tomatoes, fresh mozzarella cheese, fresh basil, olive oil) in a wood-fired oven, the restaurant also has a range of antipasti, salads, pastas, mains and mouth watering desserts. They have recently updated their menu with new items—one being Truffled Polenta Bites (6,000 kyats) with minced corn fries in wheat served with homemade sauce.
