Last week, I visited Vesta Wood-Fired and had an amazing experience. Even though I arrived close to closing time, the staff was incredibly friendly and quickly got us a table. I tried the Old Fashioned cocktail, calamari with roasted pepper, and a margherita pizza. Everything was delicious—the drink was one of the best I’ve ever had, and the wood-fired pizza was cooked perfectly. The restaurant also offers catering and is a great spot for gatherings. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more dishes! - Viz Ritz
