| - You know how you can end up being unexpectedly delighted by the quality of a place?
Well, that is what is was for me in my visit to Revo Pizza Bar - good location, right by the main rail station - charming decor, and the food is served quickly and is delicious.
You order up front, right by where the pizzas and food are made so you see the food being made and they have this beautiful pizza oven that cooks the pizzas in a flash. The chef makes the mozzarella in house and besides pepperoni they also have a dry hot sausage, called Salame Calabrese (or just Calabrese) they use on the pizzas, that is mind blowingly good.
They also have a nice selection of cocktails and local beers, and I assume wine (give me some suds over pressed grapes any day folks). I had the Carnivora (meat pizza) with the Calabrese - wonderfully thin and done quickly. My only thing, crust was a bit soft - I'll probably ask them to keep the pizza in a bit longer to hopefully crisp up that crust but overall the pizza was delicious. Another friend had the 4 cheese pasta with truffle oil and it was also amazing and we had a cheese plate which was also surprisingly good with a selection of quality cheeses, including the house made Mozzarella, walnuts, olives, and some toasted bread slices. All at what I consider extremely reasonable prices.
I'm a little concerned that people don't get that a restaurant in the transportation center can be this good and may not try it out so folks, give it a shot - I think we all want to see a place that does food this well, and is as supportive of local products as these folks, thrive. I know I look forward to coming back and trying more of the menu, including what looks like some wonderfully fresh salads.
