| - I have a not so secret love affair with Famoso. Fortunately my boyfriend feels the same! It has become a regular haunt for us & I look forward to each visit.
Perhaps we have been lucky, but we have never had to wait more than 15 minutes to be seated here. We have even been given wine samples when we have waited (a great way to win this girl's heart!)
Some are confused by their ordering system, as indicated in other reviews. On your first visit, if you listen carefully they'll explain it fully & from there it is a breeze and you'll know what to do on return visits. I actually like this method as it ensures we eat when we are ready - our food is always served soon after we have placed our order. Your server will take care of the rest. Promise.
Staff are always friendly & happy to answer questions. Always a nice little feature.
The pizza is amazing - flavors are not over powering, enjoying you to taste each ingredient as it is meant to be presented. The red sauces tastes like tomatoes! This is huge for a city where we tend to overload our sauce with seasoning. If you prefer something with a little more zip, ask for their salsa base instead.
I was going to offer my thoughts on a pizza by pizza basis, but when I looked at the menu I realized I have tried most of them. (Oops!) They were all most delicious. Special nods to the Cavoletti (Fresh mozzarella, pecorino romano, oven-roasted Brussels sprouts, prosciutto crisps, gorgonzola cheese, drizzle of honey, sprinkle of dates and walnuts) & Vittoria (Vittoria has a fiery salsa base, topped with fresh mozzarella, oven-roasted spicy chorizo sausage, roasted chicken, pineapple, and basil.) Sounds odd to some, but they are fantastic.
DO. NOT. MISS. the Nutella pizza! You will want to kiss the closest person to you once you sink your teeth into it.
Go hungry. Leave full. This is what life should be about!
