| - I arrived with my boyfriend on a Saturday afternoon around 2:30pm. It's still crowded but the line up was short (we were the second couple on the line). We got seated on a table for 2 at the back within 15 minutes.
So far... so good :)
We knew that we're going to try the Prix Fixe $15 lunch menu and we did. I ordered the arugula salad and he ordered the bruschetta with meat. The arugula salad was delicious and the portion was actually quite big. My boyfriend helped me finish my salad because I wanted to reserve enough space in my stomach for the pizza :) His bruschetta was ok. To me, it looked like a french baguette with hummus and 2 strips of deep-fried bacon. Or is that what bruschetta supposed to look like? Hmm... I'm not sure.
Here comes our pizza. We both ordered the Margherita and boy, they were huge (albeit thin). There was a generous amount of mozzarella (you can get extra for $2), but not the basil. I like basil so I needed more than just 5 leaves on my huge pizza. Nevertheless, it tasted divine. Fresh and yummy with just enough tomato sauce :) The boyfriend was happy with his as well.
For dessert, we each got a gelato, his was vanilla, mine was espresso affogato (spell check?) The vanilla was too sweet, but the espresso was delicious. We ended up sharing our dessert, so we're both happy with our choices.
Here comes our bill. Initially, we thought they're going to charge for the meat for his bruschetta (the waiter asked if my boyfriend would like the meat or vegetarian brusch). But no, it was an even $30 bill (before taxes and tip). For the quantity and quality of food you get, $30 is such a steal. I'm not a pizza fan, but I would come back to Libretto for their $15 lunch special :)
