The atmosphere is fun and bright. The tables are very close together so be prepared to squeeze past other diners.! Our server was very nice and helpful. My one complaint is the cocktails were very weak. For $18, they should be a little more on par with what you’d get in a bar. We love green papaya salad and this version was a nice amount of spice. I would have liked less lettuce and more green papaya however. We got the samosas, yellow curry, the flank steak and pad Thai. Overall a good experience.

I lived in Italy for a year and three.one four’s pizza is the best I’ve ever had. The salad was amazing as well. Full bar/craft cocktails, great wine selection, and an incredible dessert menu. We’re already looking forward to returning to try some of their pastas and salads. We forgot that we were there during happy hour and were surprised at how reasonable our check was for such a memorable dining experience.
