| - That's Italian is located in a small plaza, and it's definitely easy to miss in the dark. The restaurant itself is fairly small, and seats maybe 20-25 people. They also have a takeout counter with a slightly different menu where you can also order items not available in the dine-in menu (like sandwiches).
We were given freshly baked focaccia to start off with, and it was SO good! Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside - it was so delightfully buttery.
We ordered:
- Calamari Fritti: Small bite size pieces, lightly battered and very crispy. This was a perfect size to share between two people as an appetizer.
- Sidernese Pizza: So good! The crust was thin and crispy, with an ample amount of toppings. The arugula very fresh, and balanced well with the prosciutto and white sauce.
- Pasta with whitefish in a white wine sauce: This was ordered from their specials menu. Pasta was cooked perfectly al dente, and while the sauce was light, the white wine flavour really shone through and paired well with the whitefish.
While the service was very friendly, it was really slow because they only had one server. It makes sense, given the small dining space, but it took about half an hour to bag the leftover pizza, to give us the bill, and to process the bill because he was busy serving the other customers, and I left the restaurant fairly annoyed because of this. If you're in a hurry during peak dining hours, I suggest you call ahead and order takeout instead.
