Was looking for not-delivery pizza last nite and ended up walking through Liberty Village.
Bar Vespa seemed like a low key neighborhood joint and we walked in expecting a just above average experience.
I can tell you my wife and I were absolutely delighted to have been so profoundly mistaken.
Service was attentive: the barman took our order and made sure our drinks were delivered promptly and we're mixed just right.
He pointed out the Thursday pizza/beer special and while my wife picked the $7.00 Cozza (mussels, tomato, leek and fresh herbs), I was sold on the $15 Magherita and craft pint.
Besides from the great price, we were both impressed with the ambiance. The patio where we sat was comfortable and roomy, nicely located in a not so busy corner.
The food came just as we finished our drinks and while the mussels could have been warmer, the pizza was without a fault.
Definately on my short list.
