| - Been a little curious about this place for a while and after today's visit, I truly hope that they break whatever bad karma this particular spot has as all the previous restaurants didn't last very long.
Place was a little like a cafeteria like setting however your order is brought to you. So basically you walk in, read the menu, drool, place your order then walk down to the cashier with the number for your table. Waiting time didn't seem long either but we were also the only other small group there. I can only imagine how it is during its peak time.
[Sides]
Tuscan Fries - Only other place where I've tried fries cooked in truffle oil was at Four Seasons Hotel New York and those are still one of the best fries I've ever had. Definitely will be one and last things I'll have when I go back there.
The potato selection itself could've been better, in my opinion. This was a little on the starchier side so it was pretty dry. Ever have frozen Mccain fries? Well, it's kind of like that but a little better of course. Was perfectly seasoned with sea salt, fresh rosemary and had shavings of grana padano cheese which was very sharp. Went very well with their, what I'm guessing was a type of aioli. This would go very well with a sandwich or if you're feeling peckish. 4.5/5.
Polpette - This was quite perfection. The meat was lean but had enough of its natural fat to keep it very moist and juicy. Was perfectly cooked and the sauce was great! Would've been great if you go at least some garlic bread to go with it as it was just served on its own. But then that may also be a good thing as you get to really just indulge in all its flavour. 5/5.
[Main]
Pollo Balsamico - A very generous serving of piadina (flat bread) with grilled chicken cooked in a balsamic reduction and was garnished with baby spinach, caramelized onions, goat cheese, sundries tomatoes. Seemed like the chicken was slowly grilled or was at least marinating in the balsamic because just one bite had a burst of flavour. Would definitely get this one again. 5/5.
Prosciutto E Arugula Pizza - Usually when you go to new restaurants, it takes you a while to select something from the menu. But as soon as I saw this on the menu, I just HAD to get it and I must say that I was very pleased with my selection. The crust itself I would've preferred to be on the crispier side rather than the doughy side. Regardless, it was still nice. I basically ended up dipping the (doughy) crust in what was left from the polpette's sauce.
If God were Italian, I think the prosciutto would've been personally cured and dried by His own hands. In other words, the prosciutto was dabomb.com. The slices weren't overly thin and it seemed far from what you would normally have on any or all other proscuitto pizzas. I wouldn't be surprised if the ham itself was imported directly from Italy. What I also loved about the pizza was that they were very generous with the arugula. So for $15, you got more than your money's worth. The serving was huge and again, very generous with the toppings. The balsamic drizzle was also a nice touch. I definitely would go back for this again. 5/5.
Via Casalinga - If you like Sicilian type pizza then you definitely need to try this. The salami wasn't overly salty and you get a generous amount of it. The ricotta cheese was also very nice and creamy. Definitely the toppings (also had sausage) complimented each other. Because I was expecting it to be on the spicier side, I personally would've loved some hot pepper flakes on it, however it was still great the way it was. Another item I'd get again. 5/5.
[Dessert]
Not exactly sure what it was called but for dessert we had some type of rolled up baked dough stuffed with Nutella and served with caramel gelato. Because it was baked, it was nice and warm and gooey. Definitely on the richer side but c'mon, it's Nutella. You can't exactly go wrong either. 5/5.
