| - So I had made what I thought was a reservation for this location, but it turns out I had reserved at the King Street location. The hostess was completely unfazed by this, however, since I guess it happens all the time, and she showed us to a comfortable booth near the back.
We decided to start with the Arugula Salad ("Pear, Walnut, Piave, Ontario Gamay Vinaigrette") and I was a little worried that it might be too plain. Plain is the last word I would use to describe this dish. It's actually pretty incredible and impressively layered with flavors, as the pear, walnet, and piave prove an ideal complement to the arugula. The vinaigrette is just about perfect, too.
For our main, we went with the Diavola pizza ("Tomato, Spicy Salami, Mozzarella Di Bufala, Chili, Onion, Kalamata Olives"). It's superb. Everything worked well here, from the plentiful, delicious toppings to the perfectly-cooked crust to the rich, zesty tomato sauce. I can honestly say I enjoyed this pizza more than I was expecting, and I was absolutely expecting to love it.
