| - The smell of pizza welcomes you as you enter the restaurant. You can see the beautiful oven from Naples, just like the one that I saw when I went to a pizzeria in Napoli, Italia. We didn't want to wait for a table, so we sat at the bar. Over large marble slabs, the bartender reached across, put down two bar napkins and asked us what drinks we'd like.
We ordered:
Del Sole: Vodka, Campari, Limoncello, Orange Citrus, and some tart yet sweet concoction, mixed up to create a 16 oz. sunsetting blended color of deliciousness that paired quite well with the pizza, possibly because of the tomatoes' acidity. Del Sole means "of the sun." Oh what fun!
Negroni: Gin, Vermouth, and Campari, came on the rocks and with a lot of strength. This 8-ouncer'll do you in on an empty stomach, and although it doesn't completely complement the food, it's got a kick to it.
Negroni means "big black ones."
After she gave us drinks, she put our order in for the Antipasto called Involtini di Prosciutto, meaning Wraps of Prosciutto.
Involtini di Prosciutto: Two wraps of thinly shaved prosciutto tightly stuffing arugula together, just like a bacon-wrapped hot dog, with shaved parmigiano reggiano and mini chunks of goat cheese to create a flavorful party for your palate.
While we were snacking on that, our bartender asked us what we'd like for our meal.
We chose:
Margherita Pizza: San Marzano tomatoes crushed into an amazingly sweet and slightly tart sauce, basil, mozzarella, and olive oil. The pizza crust came out with air bubbles just like the pizza in Naples. However, the crust was not crispy like the crust in Naples. Either way, the sauce is truly intensely packed with flavor and the pizza was great none the less. We got the pizza unsliced because that's how Italians get their pizzas.
Settebello: the same awesome tomato sauce, pancetta, mozzarella, thinly sliced oven roasted fennel sausage, white button mushrooms, pine nuts and basil. Pine nuts go very well with basil. This pizza is an art piece meant to be devoured as a savage and enjoyed as a king. It was absolutely delicious. Again, we got it unsliced, but next time, we might just have to slice it.
We didn't order dessert as I had tiramisu waiting at home, but we did see the bartender keep scooping ice cream for spumoni and we overheard her not being sure whether it was cherry or strawberry, but nonetheless we're sure it was delicious.
We will be back for more and to try different things on the menu next time. Arrivederci.
