| - Came for the pizza week special but was so impressed with the pizza of the day, I went with that. Our waiter so elgantly described what sounded at that moment like a damn classy pizza: thin crust baked with tomato sauce, pecorino, and mozzarella, pulled out of the oven and layered with thin slices of presciutto, and finally dressed with a few drops of 25yr old balsamic vinegar. While waiting I ordered an aperol spritz to enhance the romantic, Italian vibe. Our pizzas came not too long after.
The pizza, so beautifully presented, was overall a good pizza. The generous amount of presciutto justified the $24, and it was a heavenly pizza. I really enjoyed surprising myself with sweet bites of balsamic between salty bites of presciutto and cheese.
Though my pizza was great I think the girlfriend ordered the better one. The Menina: cooked spinach, onions, mozarella, pecorino, olives, and capers. For $15... Holy pizza! So fresh and original I cried inside. Great with the hot oil.
Cute and romantic restaurant found on a pretty corner in Little Italy. The terrasse was a good choice given it was a beautiful evening. Enjoyable classic pizzas, with original Gema twists. Professional and knowledgeable staff. A serious GEMA of a restaurant!
