| - Let me pre empt this by saying I was not even remotely hungry when I went to Bensonhurst with my family for a birthday dinner. There were 3 adults and one adorable little girl. We ordered the Antipasto for Two, Deconstructed Bruschetta, and the Cali Smoke Show Pizza. Everything was presented beautifully and came out quickly. The flavours and quality! Again I was not hungry after already having birthday breakfast and lunch. Even in my state of being full term with a food baby, I did more than my share of damage to the plates in front of us. The lemon avocado oil on the pizza *drool*. After we completely annihilated anything edible at our table, our sever mentioned dessert, I was ready to tap out and beg for mercy, buuuuut I asked what her favourite was. Before I could even finish asking, she blurted out cheesecake. Working in the industry myself, I know that if a server jumps on something that quickly then you best order it...... We did (my poor belly). The cheesecake didn't stand a chance. NY Cheesecake meets cannoli, need I say more.
I started this review at a 4, but changed it to 5 for two reasons, 1. I was stuffed when I got there and still are everything. 2. Pizza is not a go to for me at all and this pie being full of ingredients that I usually avoid, blew my mind.
My work here is done, I'm off to buy elastic waisted pants.
