| - My first time here and I was with two wonderful colleagues. The inside is so bright and spacious and I love that because I like seeing what I'm eating (no offense to Noir because that place is awesome too). The tone of the restaurant is cozy and classy, both elements well balanced. It's a great place for a date or a get together. Pretty much any social situation for small groups or less.
I ordered the boscaiola pizza: traditional pizza topped with mushrooms, Italian sausage, and roasted sweet red peppers for $15. What a deal! My colleagues got a veal sandwich and a Firenze pizza (focaccia pizza with potato, onions, goat cheese, and whole black olives seasoned with oregano, olive oil, and rosemary).
Boscaiola was 5/5. I got it because it sounded heavy, which is my fav type of pizza. The ground pepper I got complimented the Italian sausage for well. The mushrooms were really fresh and made the whole pizza juicy but didn't make the pizza soggy.
The Firenze pizza had a light taste and was relatively dry until you sink your teeth into that cheese. The olives complicate the taste and make the potato slices have an interesting flavour.
The calamari fritti my colleague treated us was divine. Juicy, and they come with two sauces. Marinara and... Some non spicy mayo based pink sauce. I only had the calamari with the pink sauce and it was so good. The batter is seasoned too, and it wasn't oily at all even after it's been sitting on the table for a good hour as we devoured our entrées first.
Def recommend. It's lovely to see a non franchise pizza joint that's classy and cozy. You know an Italian place is good when you see a lot of Italians come in here!
See, mom, having pizza for dinner can be classy too!
