The city is officially home to three of the top 50 pizzerias in the USA, with 'O Munaciello, a popular restaurant in the MiMo District, ranking No. 7, placing it within the top 10 nationwide.
As the first establishment of the beloved Florence, Italy restaurant, 'O Munaciello serves authentic pizzas in different styles, ranging from the traditional Margherita to a Capricciosa with ham, artichokes, olives, and mushrooms. Their Neapolitan pies are also a true delight, baked in a wood-fired oven, thinly spread with authentic Italian ingredients. The rest of the restaurant's menu is completed with delicious homemade bread and typical Italian desserts accompanied by classic Italian wine labels.
