The staff is also attentive and friendly. Quite a drastic change from Una Pizza Nepolitana. . . Fri Oct 02 06:10:47 -0700 2009 5068156 165050 peterwcramp 1 5074377 I also thought service was fine. Didn't try the brussel sprouts one, but loved the spicy sopressata (what pepperoni aspires to me) and the olive oil/salt (no tomatoes, no sauce) ones. Excellent.

Everything was good enough - great food, decent service. My only objection was that I was served sushi after specifically ordering sashimi. That may seem somewhat trivial, but in a restaurant like Morimoto, when you're paying over $300 for your dinner, you just expect to receive what you order. Other than that - the downstairs lounge and the restrooms are great fun. If you don't know about the restrooms here - you should check them out :) Fri Oct 02 08:13:14 -0700 2009 5068156 1113461 tbp 2 5074454 MORIMOTO (big glitzy sushi restaurant) is different from MOTORINO (small artisanal pizza joint). :) Fri Oct 02 08:29:20 -0700 2009 5074421 10936 kathryn 3 5074527 LOL tbp's post confused me for a minute - I was thinking to myself "Did Morimoto open a pizza joint"?? lol Fri Oct 02 09:04:34 -0700 2009 5074454 174753 NellyNel 4 5074555 Oops, sorry, hadn't had my coffee yet. Fri Oct 02 09:13:53 -0700 2009 5074527 1113461 tbp 1 5074779 Ha! "Motorino now serves sushi?!" I was equally floored by the "revelation" that they had a philly location as well as two in new york. I just had the brussels sprout and pancetta pizza a few nights ago as well. It was very, very tasty. I always have a margherita pie first from a place as a sort of benchmark, so i get a sense of their crust. Fri Oct 02 10:41:24 -0700 2009 5068156 94227 egit
