I tried out this restaurant a month ago with a friend for an early supper; getting a reservation for a table is a challenge, let me tell ya! Located on the west end of Notre Dame street, the location was a surprise to say the least, considering this area isn't exactly chic for a restaurant of this caliber; the sleek modern decor and retro design touches make for a very beautiful space and great laid back feel.
We opted for the suppli al telefono (rice croquettes) as a starter and both loved the moist croquettes and delicious tomato sauce; the pecorino cheese added a touch of savoury to the sweetness of the dish and the execution was bang on!
We ordered two pizzas for our mains including the margherita and diavolo. If you can impress with your simplest pizza then you're laughing; the crust was perfectly chewy, thin but not flimsy, so it holds those generous toppings perfectly. The pepperoni on the diavolo pizza was delicious and there was the perfect amount of heat to really give that pizza a kick, although my friend found it a little too much. The mozzarella and the sauce were perfect! I haven't had a good slice of wood oven pizza like this in a while! We ordered the cannolis and a cherry financier for dessert and both were amazing, although the cannoli with the pistachios and honey were really unique and out of this world tasty!
This spot is a great addition to the strip and is definitely my go to now for a nice casual evening in a great space, good service and of course, delicious pizza.
