I'm an east coast girl living in a west coast world. I grew up in New England before moving to SoCal for several years. I then lived in NYC or a year before moving to AZ in 2009. I worked in the entertainment industry for many years of my adult life and have a deep love for photography, writing, and traveling around the U.S. as well as to far-flung locations around the world. Travel is my life and writing about it is a dream!

This local eatery was the first in town to have a wood-fired pizza oven. And if you've never tried the wood-fired pizza here, you're missing out!
There are several delicious wood-fired pizza options on the menu. How about a Margherita with basil, mozzarella, and tomato or an Uovo with roasted onions, potatoes, bacon, mozzarella, and an egg?
You may want to try the Gnocchetti. Made with red wine braised short ribs, root vegetables, and parmesan, this dish is sure to please any meat eater's palate.
If you're not too full from your pizza and pasta choices, a dessert may be in order. Pictured here is a handmade cannoli, which may be the best way to end a meal!
