Guests can witness how pizzas are prepared and cooked in the oven in the traditional way right in our dining area. The signature feature for all our Roberto’s outlets is the Alfa Forni wood and gas fired pizza oven brought in specially from Italy, a hallmark of Italian craftmanship, combining traditional know how and cutting-edge technology.”
“We also will be showcasing a variety of Tuscan and Emilian culinary staples such as handmade pastas, soups, cold cut platters, as well as contemporary dishes such as paninis and burgers,” he continued.
