My coworkers are pretty particular with food, so I let them decide where to go for dinner before our team build. Upon reading raving reviews on TripAdvisor (don't get me started lol), LDV was their venue of choice.
We settled ourselves at a table by the cozy fireplace and enjoyed a couple bevvies as we waited for our sauteed mussels, San Francesco and Crazy Calabrese pizzas.
The mussels were coated in a hearty helping of fresh tomatoes and herbs, I kind of wished we had more foccacia to soak up the leftover goodness.
I love thin crust pizza, there's more topping to dough ratio. Which means you can fill up on more pizza and not be super bloated :)
Of the two, I liked the San Francesco more - fresh arugula, cherry tomatoes and sliced proscuitto. However, there were notes of earthy/tart flavors we couldn't figure out. Until I went home (Googled) and realized that gorgonzola is in fact blue cheese . . . which I'm not a fan of, so I know for next time to ask for it without.
Also, did you know that Bridgeland is referred to as Calgary's "Little Italy"? Makes sense now why there are so many great Italian places in the area - LDV included!
