Bonobo
Type A Diversions has reviewed Bonobo, a pizzeria in the West End.
“Their thin and crisp crusted pizzas feature fresh, unusual toppings; the restaurant itself is laid back, yet sophisticated enough for a casual date night on the town. Though I wouldn’t make Bonobo a regular destination, I certainly wouldn’t hesitate to dine there again when in the area.”
