| - Went here last night for dinner with some friends, and must admit that the food lived up to the hype.
We drove there separately and surprise - now they offer FREE valet parking (of course tip the valet dude). Our quoted wait time for a table was 1.5 hours, and apparently this was nothing compared to the wait my friends had to deal with before (3+ hours).
We spent time next door at the bar by ordering a bottle of wine and a cheese plate to share and before we knew it, the wait was over.
Although the restaurant isn't big (and we were almost friends with the tables next to us just because it was so snug in there), there was a nice ambiance - especially with the huge woodfire oven in the back.
We ordered two Caprese salads and three pizzas - the Margherita, Wiseguy, and Biancoverde (we added roasted tomato slices to the Biancoverde for an extra charge). O.M.G. - the food was SO good! Everything tasted fresh and delicious. I'm usually not a fan of pizzas with thin crusts, but these were awesome.
Apparently they make their own mozzarella, which is probably why their Caprese salad ($9) is one of the best (if not the best) I've had thus far. The tomatoes and mozzarella were sliced thick and tasted SO fresh, the basil was fragrant - and EVOO - YUM!
The Magherita pizza was $12 and the other two were $16 each. Our food came within 15-20 mins after we placed our order, and boy - the pizzas were so fragrant! They were decently sized and were enough to feed our group of six ladies. The Margherita and Biancoverde tasted good, but my fave was the Wiseguy, which was topped with thick slices of roasted onions, mozzarella, and thick slices of fennel sausage. The sausage tasted a bit too sweet, but overall, each bite of the pizza slice was food nirvana.
My friend ordered a Wiseguy to go, so the bill (2 salads + 4 pizzas) came to $88, and we added a 20% tip to that. Was the food worth the total bill? Yes! Will I come here again? Yes!
