| - My husband and I returned this evening and had the Burratta e Speck appetizer, Margherita DOC pizza and Cannoli. We love this place, which is VPN certified so you know you are getting true Napoletan style pizza. Honestly, I can't seem to get excited about anything other than this style of pizza ever again, so simple and flavorful that my eyes roll back into my head every time I eat there. I can't wait to try their pastas. The Cannoli was amazing. The texture was beautiful and the serving was probably twice as large as what I expected. I had it was a double shot of espresso; the perfect thing.
The only thing that we would have changed was the music, which was sort of rap influenced, American Idol style mainstream stuff that I'd expect to hear in a gym, or some run of the mill college pizza pub. But this is not college pizza pub pizza but pizza designed for a more sophisticated palette so homogenized pop/rap just doesn't suit. I'm not saying they need to play Mario Lanza recordings or anything but something that connects a little more with the food and Italian culture would be sort of unique and special. We've been in a couple of times this summer and the music just doesn't make any sense. Maybe if they streamed in an Italian radio station, with contemporary Italian artists it would be an even more stimulating sensory experience. Of course, if they wanted to have Puccini and Verdi playing some of the time, I'd just bring my cribbage board and never leave.
We arrived on our bicycles by the way and it was nice to find bike parking right out front, by the way.
