| - We popped in for dinner yesterday with no reservation, and despite the place being packed, the staff still managed to find us a table for two. The inside is cozy: exposed brick, fairy lights, and big red leather chairs.
THE GOOD:
- Fresh bread while waiting for our food - yum!
- We had the charcuterie board as our starter, which came with pears, walnuts, olives, and a side of honey to drizzle over everything. This was delicious - my favourite was the blue cheese, which was strong but not overly pungent.
- The star of the show was my entrée: the pear and gorgonzola pizza. It took me forever to decide on what to order - there are so many amazing pizza and pasta choices - but this did not disappoint. It had a thin crust, a very generous amount of cheese, and the pears added a really nice sweetness. They serve it with a pizza cutter, so you can cut the slices to your liking - I thought that was a nice touch (even though I was terrible at cutting it neatly).
- We were in good hands with our server. He was attentive without being overly chatty.
THE BAD:
- My boyfriend had the seafood fettuccine. It was good, but the sauce was a little on the watery side. We would recommend sticking to the pizzas or trying another pasta dish.
Overall, Aprilé Bambina is an awesome spot in a neighbourhood that doesn't have many Italian options. I would definitely come again.
