Pronto 478 serves authentic Italian street food: Roman-style pizza, hand-shaped pasta, golden-fried snacks like arancini and frittatina, sorrisi (pizza sandwiches), and classic Italian desserts, with both Roman and Sicilian influences. Check our menu now!

Sorriso means "smile" in Italian. It's our signature pizza sandwich: pizza dough folded around generous fillings like mortadella and pistachio, chicken cotoletta, or porchetta with fig chutney. Available until 4 pm daily.

Pizza al Taglio is a Roman-style pizza sold by the slice, literally "pizza by the cut." Perfect for a quick lunch on the go. Available until 4 pm daily.

Pizza al taglio is our Roman-style tray pizza, baked in large rectangular trays and sold by the slice until 4 pm. Pizza romana is a whole 13-inch round pizza with a thin, crunchy Roman-style base, perfect for dinner or sharing. 

Frittatina is a Neapolitan street food classic: deep-fried croquettes filled with pasta. Ours come filled with DOP pecorino sauce and cracked pepper, or Napoli sauce, bechamel, mushrooms and sausage.

Yes, three varieties: alla ciccia (bolognese and mozzarella), zuccotto (pumpkin and gorgonzola), and alla siciliana (eggplant, mozzarella and salted ricotta), each just $5.

You can order our pasta by picking your sauce first, from carbonara, cacio e pepe, bolognese, vodka, boscaiola and more, then choose your pasta type. All our pasta is shaped by hand.

We have a full Italian dolci dessert lineup: four tiramisu flavours (traditional, matcha, limoncello, and Biscoff), zeppole, cannoli, pistachio and hazelnut mousse, cheesecakes, and sweet dessert pizzas.

Zeppole are Sicilian doughnuts. Light, golden and served with a topping of your choice. Dangerous knowledge, we know.

Sweet pizza, or pizza dolce, is pizza dough topped with Nutella and crushed hazelnuts, or with pistachio spread and crushed pistachios, finished with icing sugar. We also do sweet sorrisi filled with Nutella or pistachio spread.
