| - I came here with a group of 10 friends on a snowy Friday night and the consensus at the end of the night is that this place is great! Service is fast, friendly, efficient. The atmosphere is nice and cozy too. They have large tables for larger groups, and I also see plenty of small tables for two people to have a dinner and still able to have a conversation without being drowned out by the conventional loud bar noise.
Almost everyone at our table ordered the signature Via Mercanti double layered pizza with ricotta, prosciutto cotto, mixed mushrooms, hot soppressata, topped by their famous margherita. This is a pizza about the size of a standard dinner plate and we were all surprised to find no one at the table was able to finish their double layered pizza! Needless to say the double layers of meat, cheese, and mushroom were as filling as two pizzas. While the taste is great overall, my husband did mention that the disadvantage of the double-layered pizza is that it made the crust soggier so next time we would like to dry their other single layered pizzas.
I also had their lasagna and I have to say it is my favorite of the night! I was half expecting it to be salty based on my previous experience, but I was pleasantly surprised that this lasagna was perfect. I enjoyed every bite of it to the very end without needing to chug water the more I ate, and fought with my hubby to finish the rest of this since we were sharing other food!
Their baked eggplant (Parmigiana Di Melanzane) was also very yummy. In fact overall I loved this and the lasagna more than the Via Mercanti pizza.
I definitely want to come back and try more from their menu.
