    Gianfranco was an amazing server and was very helpful with our questions on the menu! The buffalo mozzarella pizza was delicious and so was the calamari. And the ambience was 10/10 beautiful place and the hostess treated us with care when we wanted to switch seating! Will come again.

    My friends and I went for my birthday. We got the short rib rice balls and the calamari off the appetizer menu. Both were great. I didn’t love the aioli that came with the riceballs but my friends really enjoyed it. For dinner, we shared a few of the smaller pizzas. We got the margherita VIP, the FIG, and the siciliana. My only wish is that the FIG pizza had a bit more flavor. Maybe hot honey or Calabrian chili paste or even more fig jam and some flaky salt. For dessert we got the panna cotta, the tiramisu, and the lava cake. Flavor wise everything was amazing and the staff put a candle in my lava cake for my birthday and sang which was nice. The lava cake didn’t really have “lava” but the flavor made up for it. The ambiance in the back dining area is lovely. I will absolutely be back.

    We had so much fun at Patrizias! The food was great in abundant proportions! And the service was outstanding! We celebrated a family member’s graduation and the staff went above and beyond to make it a very fun occasion that we will remember for a long time! I will definitely be back again and highly recommend Patrizias!
