| - I first saw Pizzeria Antica, while visiting Cafe Kopi- which is right around the corner from it. The outdoor street side dining is very nice; I love the stained-glass and artisan stone that makes up their tables outside. Upon arriving at the eatery we noticed a large amount of people ordering and sitting, as we approached the kiosk we said we wanted to dine for three people and were told to seat ourselves where we'd like. As we sat a waitress came over to take our order; 2 Margherita pizzas. I love the minimalist decor and the contemporary atmosphere, it was very nice and gave the pizzeria a businessesque flair. We learned that they prepared their pizza in the Sicilian way and that they had to obtain a special permit in order to state this, needless to say the ingredients on the pizza were very fresh and delicious. The Margherita is my favorite anywhere. Yet the flavor was very very bland, the only taste was in the natural flavoring on the tomato sauce and the dough of the pizza itself- I didn't really care for it, yet I loved the freshness of the ingredients. Earlier, I'd sampled the chocolate gelato, which was so yummy. Indeed later as we left, I decided I wanted it. Though the scoop was extremely small, it was still equally as yummy. However, I wouldn't return. For what you pay, you don't really get in quality and I had higher expectations. Delicious ingredients, everything else was just okay. Lovely ambiance though.
