italian, brick-oven pizzas, friendly, cozy, romantic, east village, moderate pricethis 'sicilian kitchen' is home for high-quality brick oven pizzas. the pasta and secondi menu are stellar with a choice of meat, fish and vegetarian. recommedations include 'ravioli del giorno' and 'pollo rosmarino'. the setup is spacious (for east village standards) and cozy making it more private for romantic endeavors! it also has interesting hangings on the brick wall with dim lights that enhances the spirits! if you are waiting for a table, you can either grab a glass of wine from their bar, or a beer from their 'lounge' downstairs.

overall, 'three of cups' stands up to its good food, good wine, and good friends!
fyi: walk down for a coffee at the several joints on alphabet avenues.
