Went to Artisan Stack with my buddy for a drink and stayed for dinner. The main course was the pizza pies, which were crispy and delicious. The Parmesan Truffle fries and Roasted Tomato & Herb Ricotta Crostini are a must. Found a parking spot right by the restaurant (Lucky) but there is a large public parking structure across the street. Staff was friendly and service was great. Looking forward to taking my wife on the weekend when they have music. - Bruce Handler

Beyond the main courses, the appetizers are a must-try, with the Parmesan Truffle Fries and the Roasted Tomato & Herb Ricotta Crostini repeatedly singled out as favorites.
