| - Sweet baby Jesus... this place was ahhhmazing.
Initially, my friends and I came because we heard that they made fresh mozzarella, but it turns out that they have great menu items that are just as great, if not better, than the fresh mozzarella.
First off, I love love loveee the atmosphere and the decor. The restaurant was dimly lit with rustic lighting and candles, which were a lovely touch. The tables were wooden, and again, went with that rustic feel. Everything was just amazing. I think I'm doing a horrible job at describing this place and I'm not doing it any justice, so just pay them a visit.
Second, and the most important, was the food. I needed to be wheeled out of here when I was done. Here's a rundown of what we ordered:
-Fresh Mozzarella with Pingue Prosciutto: the crostinis were really good, as was the fig jam, sea salt, proscuitto and the cheese of course. We also asked for a side of the tomato jam which went well with the cheese. I suggest spreading some fig jam on the crostini, sprinkling some sea salt on it, then topping it off with some cheese. It was sooo good!
-Straight up meatball: We just had the classic meatball. I'm not a huge fan of beef or any type of ground up meat, but this meatball was delicious! It was doused in tomato sauce and cheese and sat atop a piece of bread... it was just so good
-Bianca Pizza: I thought this pizza was really good... and it was... until about a few slices in. This pizza, in theory, is really yummy- the caramelized onions add a bit of sweetness and the tomatoes, a bit of tang, but the herbs and overkill of parmesan cheese made it just a slight bit too salty for my friends' and I's liking.
Sidenote: We let the waitress know when she asked us how we liked the food and she was nice enough to take the pizza off the bill... Grade A customer service.
-Chocolate panna cotta: I really wanted to love this, and I did love it for a few bites, until the balsamic flavor became too much to handle. The chocolate of the panna cotta was done well- it wasn't too sweet and it wasn't dull, but the balsamic flavor became very overpowering after a few bites. It added a nice tang in the beginning, but after, that's all you seem to taste.
-Tiramisu: delicious... simply delicious. The espresso flavor really came through on this one
-Zeppole: Yum! Who doesn't like dough balls and chocolate?
-Blood orange and cucumber mojito: mojito done to the next level. It's a regular mojito that tastes so much better than a regular mojito. Sooo good. I will never drink regular mojitos again.
Overall, I had an awesome time here. Our waitress was amazing. She gave us tons of suggestions and was very knowledgable about the menu. All of the staff members who came by our table were really nice and friendly- especially the hostess who stood by the door and brought us over to our table. I will, most definitely, be back for another visit. Everything was great!
P.S. We were told by our waitress that there is a live DJ on Thurs, Fri, and Sat nights! and $7 cocktails and $5 pints!
