| - Pizza the way I love it: thin crust with fresh and creative toppings!
I was one of a party of 3, dining on a rainy evening - I think we were lucky, because the wait was just a bit under 5 minutes.
We started with the calamari, which was lightly battered and fried - and the red pepper almond sauce was a delightful twist!
The three of us each ordered a pizza, and shared: Grilled Eggplant, Ontario Ricotta Di Bufala, and Prosciutto & Arugula. Let me tell you - the surprise of the bunch - even without cheese, the peppery arugula and the salty meat came together and made that pizza irresistible. And I love me some cheese. Speaking of, the Ricotta was the lightest, freshest ricotta ever. One of my friends mentioned that he thinks they make it fresh themselves - this sort of dedication to fresh ingredients gets a big check mark in my books.
Service was attentive and friendly. There wasn't an overwhelming wait, but given the rumours I had heard about the line-ups, I was pleasantly surprised to find that they never rushed us, and continued to refill our waters when we just wanted to hang out and chat. Again, I think we were pretty lucky in that it wasn't too too busy.
Finally, while I'm no wine expert, we had plenty of the Rosso Toscana "Il Bosco", and it was a great accompaniment to our meal.
Great portions - had a great lunch the next day :)
