| - So the boy and I were home in the evening and wanted to order in. We had never tried uber eats before, so I downloaded the app and gave it a go. After Pershing, we went with Aviv. We ordered two calzones-one with salami cheese and mushrooms (Roma Calzone), a margherita calzone, an order of calamari and an order of Risotto balls.
The food was prepared and in its way in a very reasonable amount of time. The food was still warm, considering the travel time (approximate 20 minutes in just travel time). The calamari was good; I expected it to have become rubbery as it made its journey to us, but that was not the case. The two dipping sauces, Romesco and black olive aioli, were both yummy. I didn't know what to expect with the black olive aioli as, generally speaking, I'm not an olive kind of girl. In the end, when the calamari was done, we decided to be fat and dip the rice balls and calzones into the left over sauces. Scrumptious.
Rice balls...I guess they were good. I had half of one...I've just never been a rice ball kinda girl (I've noticed that this review makes me look like an overly picky eater. I'm not, I swear). That said, we received 3 rice balls. For $10 I would have expected 4. Even numbers are always better. We wondered if the delivery guy got hungry and ate one. If so, we appreciate the fact that it was a long journey; no hard feelings.
The calzones...we should have only gotten one. It was hugeeee. My boyfriend enjoyed his margherita calzone. Me personally...I didn't really like the salami. It just wasn't my taste...and my calzone was jam packed with them. I removed some so that my boyfriend could shove them into his meatless calzone. Main gripe about the meal-too much salami in the calzone and the peculiar number of rice balls. Negative one star for that.
Overall, we both enjoyed our meals and were glad with the choice we made . Also pleased that they gave us a very generous side of sauce for dipping (we asked for some on the side). I wouldn't mind actually dining in the restaurant, or perhaps trying different menu items when ordering in.
