| - This is one of my favorite places in town, for several reasons. My followers know I very rarely eat at chains, it's just what I like. This is a family run business that takes much pride in their work. The ambiance is casual and comfortable, and you can see the crew making your food as ordered. And it's every bit worth the little extra wait. Let's face it, fast, cheap pizza is fast and cheap for a reason. And many people are ok with that. I'm not.
I'm very picky about my calzone. Some places try to overdo it. Bistro nails it. The dough is soft and fluffy, not heavy, and baked to perfection, not like a brick. It fluffy up so big that the to-go box it comes in can't be closed! Inside is more deliciousness. High quality mozzarella that when you tilt your back just falls into your mouth. Accompanied by creamy ricotta. Not all cheese is equal! You can absolutely tell the difference in the high quality here. Then there is the spinach. It is fresh! Not frozen and chopped. And the garlic is fresh, not that stuff in a jar. It is all rounded out with the most delicious marinara, of which I love so much I order extra. This is what guilty pleasures are made of.
Then, there is my son, spaghetti connoisseur. This is the only place, outside of my kitchen, that he will order it. And he is a tough critic!
If you aren't hungry by now, I haven't done my job. Do yourself a favor, next time you want Italian, check this gem out. You can thank me later.
Ciao!
