Filippi's Pizza Grotto

Sitting boldly midway down India Street, Filippi's Pizza Grotto is the perfect spot for a casual and cultural dining experience, any night of the week. Don't be scared away by the line out the front door; with two large dining rooms of red and white checkered table cloths, the wait is rarely too long to bear. Local favorites at Filippi's include the anti-pasta salad with imported Italian cheese and the homemade lasagna. That said, the pizza is authentically terrific; decorate any pie with a number of fresh toppings including pepperoncinis, garlic, artichokes, or fresh-sliced Italian salami. Request an extra thin crust if you'd like and match it with a small bottle of Chianti to share with your table. Once you finish, ask the wait-staff for a sharpie and autograph your bottle. He or she will then hang it from the ceiling over your table, adding it to the thousands that are already strung from the beams, representing numerous nights of happy eating in Little Italy.
