| - Another perfect meal at Mercurio's last night. We love taking sporadic trips to this place for dinner. The restaurant is small, with limited seating both inside and outside.
For drinks, my husband and I got the house red wine...$18 for a carafe (~6 glasses). This wine isn't overly complicated, but it's a nice light red which is a nice accompaniment to the meal.
We started with the house salad...a sizeable salad with mixed greens, grape tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, parm, and a homemade vinegarette dressing. The salad is served with 2 crostini, which are toasted with olive oil and a rub of garlic. I'd dare say this salad is the best starter salad I've ever had (and I get it every time we visit this restaurant).
I order the margherita pizza with tomato sauce, mozzarella, and basil. Simple, yet delicious. They make their pizzas in a wood fire grill, making a nice char on the thin crust pizza. Pizzas are individually sized and can be eaten all at once or make for a delicious leftover snack later.
Finished with a small mint chocolate chunk gelato...what a perfect finish to a perfect meal!
Until next time!
