Omg this place totally surpassed my expectations!!
We were supposed to go to see the new avengers movie but it was crazy packed so we decided to go have supper instead. I yelped to see which restaurants were close by that had good reviews and I saw all the rave reviews on here. When I saw the restaurant I almost didn't want to go. It doesn't look like much and it's in a quiet residential area.
Boy am I glad I gave this place a shot! We didn't have any reservations and there was quite a few people in this restaurant. It has a homey feel and although it is an Italian resto it has a Greek feel to it with all the blue walls and decorations.
The focaccia bread that they give you to start is amazing! I would go back just for the bread! I don't even eat bread but that bread was the best bread of life!! After finishing the focaccia we had the fried calamari. It was good! It came with a spicy tomato sauce. I wish it had come with more sauce because it wasn't enough.
We felt very full after the calamari so we shared one pizza. We got the crudaiola. Toppings included tomato sauce, arugula, prosciutto, cherry tomatoes and mozzarella. The crust was thin and a bit soggy in the middle but still delicious. Portions are huge! I only ate a quarter of the pizza!
I will definitely be back! I can't wait for more focaccia bread!! Also we got a litre of house wine for approx $30 so we drank and ate like kings and it was very affordable!
My boyfriend and I went back on Friday and got two different pizzas and the same 1L bottle of wine. Of course we went to town on the focaccia bread again! It's a must have and it's free! I had the pancetta and funghi pizza which was so delicious! Definitely my fave out of the three pizzas that I tried here thus far. My boyfriend ordered the diavola pizza but it wasn't that great. First of all it was not spicy and the sausage was hard. We will definitely keep coming back and try their other pizzas.
