| - I had the pleasure of visiting Via Mercanti this afternoon. With 3 friends we ordered 2 pizzas and their Bocconcini Di Pizza (little dough bites filled with ricotta, fior di latte and prosciutto). The minimum order for Bocconcini is 4(they gave us 5 with one on the house!), so there's no trying one, but after having 1 you'll want another anyhow. I found that the prosciutto distribution in them wasn't perfect, and a couple lacked any meat. By and by it was okay, but I'd hate to get a plate full of them missing meat, and it's a numbers game.
All pizzas have Olive Oil and Parmesan cheese unless otherwise noted, and they have a selection of pizza with or without tomato sauce, the alternative being a creamier pizza usually with potato. We got one of each pizza.
To be honest, this was my first experience with Neapolitan style pizza. I was very pleasant though and the pizza was absolutely tasty. The Bocconcini Di Pizza are tasty morsels and I definitely recommend ordering.
The place is affordable: 2 pizzas, 4 morsels and flat water came to $45 after tip. Wouldn't be going there all the time, but a nice place to hit up now and then when you feel like having something particularly delicious. Strikes me as a good date place.
Decor is pleasant, feels very clean with white walls and wood. Lots of nice light from the windows in the front.
Service was alright. It took a while to get the bill and they didn't seem overly busy, but in their defense I was in a small rush. Service was courteous, but I think a few extra little touches would go a long way.
They also have a dessert menu, didn't get a chance to try.
