| - Sandro's is now named Rea's Italian Cucina. After the fire, they rebuilt and they are back with a vengeance!
I went there for my birthday a few days ago and I must say that I'm sad I never knew about this place before!!
We had made reservations and I'm glad we did, the place was full of happy dining people. The atmosphere is cozy and warm and full of life. Our waiter was very attentive and funny throughout the evening and he was very efficient and quick which I always appreciate.
I ordered the bruchetta to start. It was so delicious! It wasn't too garlicky,but was full of flavour and crunch. Next up we ordered some calamari. WOW. It was the stewed kind, not the deep fried kind. It showed up piping hot in a tangy tomato sauce that was herbaceous and made me say mmmmmm with every bite! I had never had calamari this way before, I might not be able to go back to the fried variety!
Our main meal was two medium pizzas. The first was the Michelangelo pizza which is smoked salmon, capers, onions and olive oil. I was in pizza heaven! First off, I have issues with smoked salmon most of the time because its too 'smoked' and you don't actually taste any salmon, NOT on this pizza! It was cooked perfectly and the salty treasures of the capers were just perfect. I am currently dreaming about this pizza day and night.
The second pizza we ordered was the Rea's Special. It was Pepperoni, capicolla, mushrooms, olives, green peppers. It was full of flavours, a bit spicy but perfectly cooked. I can honestly say that I won't be able to eat pizza again and not compare it to Rea's pizza.
With a couple bottles of wine and a free shot courtesy of our kind waiter for my birthday, it was a wonderful night. I would recommend this place to anybody. Go out for a romantic night with your honey or take all your friends and get into the Italian mood of good food and drink.
