Frommer's Review
You know a restaurant is hot when the patrons are as young and good-looking as the staff, and they certainly are here (or at least they were when we last visited). Match makes every "Best Of" list in the state, and those tributes are justified. Don't expect elegance: Most of the walls are bare brick, the ceiling has exposed wood joists, and industrial lamps provide most of the lighting. There is the expected martini menu, including pineapple and white chocolate versions for those who don't like the taste of alcohol. Pizzas emerge from the brick oven at the back, delivered to the counter that surrounds it. There is as much eating as drinking going on at the steel-topped main bar, happy diners making the most of such mmm-inducing edibles as the "8 hour" veal osso buco with risotto, fried sage, and scallions.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
