It makes me so happy when I find a great new lunch spot! Vatra has a fabulous menu of ....carbs! If your dieting, i recommend you save this for later!
They bring two kinds of bread to start with a tomato butter- pace yourself, there is more! My friend and I shared the Smoked Brea appetizer, which is smoked on a cedar plank- when it arrived at our table, the cedar smell filled out table and the flavor eased into the cheese- so good! The apple chutney on top was so delicious with the cedar flavor!
We also shared the Aria pizza and asked to add caramelized onions, a great touch! The crust had a good flavor and the ricotta and prosciutto on top were very fresh, however this is not bursting with flavor. I found myself taking some of the tomato butter and putting it on the pizza.. oops!
I love the contemporary, zen atmosphere and really can't wait to go back for dinner- I have heard that in such a short time, the place packs people in!
