Food Scene
We LOVE Luigia for authentic Italian pizza at an affordable price. It's a little bit of a hike to get there, but with 3 locations around town, you can fit in a visit after one of your sightseeing afternoons! And maybe after eating a whole pizza & a special NUTELLA dessert you will enjoy a nice walk home!
