| - A new neighborhood restaurant - yeah!! My wife and I and 2 couples showed up on their 5th day after opening. One would expect they had lots of bugs to work out, poor service, iffy food. However....we were blown away, pleasantly surprised, and looking forward to our next time back. The appetizers of raw oysters (malapeque, raspberry and P.E.I.) were great. At $3.70 a piece not the cheapest, but buy 10 and get 2 free made it worth it, plus they were sweet, briney and fresh. I had the mushroom ravioli, which was one of the best I've ever enjoyed. My friend had the white veal chop bone in, perfectly cooked and season. The pizza I shared with my wife was delicious - thin crust, amazing sauce and runny buffalo mozerella; as good as we've had at Michaels in Napoli. The wine was exceptionally priced. Doppio Zero will give 7 Numbers and Ferraro a run for their money, but hey, competition will only make them all better, not to mention The Green Eggplant, Abott Pub and Ha Long Bay Bistro. For dessert we all headed next door to Hotel Gelato, not that Doppio Zero's molten lava choclate cake didn't look amazing, but we had a hankering for gelato. The Heddington Ave corridor has become a slice of gastronomic heaven!
