| - Okay, It was a while ago that I went to Double Zero, but it certainly was memorable!
I remember it clearly...
My friends and I went to check out CRAFT Beer Market (also awesome) for its grand opening, and ended up going for dinner at Double Zero. So we walked from CRAFT down to Double Zero... just a hop and skip, really. Anyway, we commented that it was a little too loud at CRAFT, so they offered to seat us in a little quieter section of the restaurant. This impressed us, and we followed the hostess to a quiet area near the kitchen (surprising, yes, but very nice). The whole dining and bar areas, though, are quite nice. I remember when that space was the Elephant and Castle (crashed a wedding party there, but I digress...). Hopefully this one sticks.
At any rate, there were three of us, one of whom is vegetarian. So we ended up getting two pizzas: one veggie, one not. The selection of pizzas is impressive, as is the staff's knowledge of their product. I am a beer lover, and was quite impressed with their selection. Tree Brewing is great, but I decided to go for something a little different with the Aphrodisiac Stout. Our server was wonderful, talking about the beer and how much everyone loves it. There was a lot of hype, and I was not disappointed.
I recall ordering the perogy pizza, but don't remember what the other was. While both were fantastic, I did seem to enjoy the non-perogy pizza more. Just wish I could remember the name..... Anyway, the menu is great, and since that time they have added pasta to their list of offerings.
The decor is very nice, with authentic Italian product displayed all over. Photos of local people, by local photographers, adorn the walls. I had to ask about purchasing some of the product on display, but for the moment they are not for sale. They may introduce a retail operation in the future for those who want authentic Italian goodies. Or you can go to one of several Italian markets in town.
All-in-all, we were very impressed, and will most certainly be back - and not only to redeem our one remaining Groupon.
