Best Overall Bite: Quinto Neighborhood Pizzeria & Taphouse 
Pedro, for someone visiting your restaurant for the first time, what do you recommend they try? “I’d definitely go for a pizza and an appetizer. Our meatballs are delicious and our Arancini is also a really good option as it comes with three different sauces so you can try them all.”
Tell us about any other services you provide: “Every Monday kids eat free! Wednesdays are Trivia night which has quickly become a neighborhood favorite. Many times we fill up, which is awesome, and it works very well with our Self-Serve Tap Wall. Also, food can be ordered from a QR code so you don't miss a question.”

What did the attendees love the most about your winning menu item? “Attendees loved our coffee and infusions not only for the energy boost, but because of the authentic taste.

We put a lot of love into our drinks, and people can taste it!” 
For someone visiting for the first time, what do you recommend they try? “The first thing I always recommend is the Caramelicious. It’s our signature drink. It is so velvety and addicting.

Most of all, I enjoy seeing the smiles on kids' faces during the 3pm after-school rush.”
