Inspired by the Carrettiera, or Cart-Driver, who brought goods from Southern Italy's farms to its villages via horse-drawn cart, this tiny pizza and oyster shack is all about sharing, be it food or conversation. The entire restaurant is tucked into a a 640-sq-ft shipping container. That said, there are patio spaces, a small separate back room and a semi-private courtyard that groups can book, with most spaces more semi-private than truly private as befitting this congenial eatery. As many as 100 can be accommodated for a reception in a buy-out, groups of 15 can choose among the various spaces and all of the options are very affordable in comparison to many other venues. Best of all, perhaps, is the food. The menu features fresh oysters (selection changes daily), delectable chicken liver mousse and excellent wood-fire pizza. Beer and Prosecco on tap are the mainstay beverages.

- Group Friendly: "While walk-in groups might be accommodated, your best bet is to make a group reservation as this is a shipping container with very limited space."
- Best for Group Friendly Because: Despite it's diminutive size, Cart-Driver does have spaces that can be reserved by groups of 8 or more.
