| - #Summerlicious 2017
A more accurate rating would be 3.5 stars...but it was last day of Summerlicious, I left on a full tummy, and I had a good time! So four it is;)
F'Amelia is a quiet neighbourhood establishment with beautiful outdoor patio, and I got a great spot by the window. However....I also had the misfortune of being paired with the worst server working that evening:( Other peole got asked if they want sparkling water or tap, I got tap straight; other people got asked if they wanted anything with the pizza, some pepper or mozarella cheese perhaps? I just got the pizza. It's these little things. All the other servers at the restaurant were extremely friendly, so I don't know what the deal was with this guy:/
Bread(4.8/5.0) - I usually don't judge bread, but this one was just sooooooo good!! I loved the texture, the dough was premixed with olive oil and spices, and I tasted lemon in there too. It didn't come with a spread, which surprised me a little; not warmed either, which is why I took .2 point off.
Appetizer - asparagus with hard boiled egg (3.5/5.0) It was good, the combination of asparagus, brussel sprouts, egg & cheese was definitely interesting. I generally like asparagus, and this one didn't have any of the hard-chewy fibers, which was good. The dish was interesting, not amazing though.
Main - cacciatore pizza (2.0/5.0) I almost bolted out the door when I learned that they didn't have the parpadelle dish I came for:( Well, it was the last day, I was procrastinating a bit... And this pizza wasn't the high note I was hoping for. The dough was burnt, bitter, and too thin for my liking; the topping wasn't anything special either, the flavor of each ingredient didn't end up coming together. Although the taste was unique, it just wasn't for me:(
Dessert - tiramisu (4.0/5.0) The icing was rich, creamy, and not overly sweet. It also had the right amount of coffee in it. The cake was a bit on the dry side, but it paired great with the icing, so overall it was a solid dessert, I enjoyed it a lot;)
To conclude, the pizza was kinda disappointing, but I had a great time here. The weather was nice, the view was pleasant, the place just had excellent atmosphere and everyone was so warm and welcoming (except my server)... Might come again.
(Not for pizza though:p)
(Hopefully a different server next time?)
