| - I really want to give this place a 4.5 out of 5. It's almost perfect but just not quite there yet so I'll give them 4 as I have to leave some wiggle room for improvement!
I've been a few times so far since it's conveniently located 2 streets down from my apartment. So far, the boyfriend and I tried their pizzas, salads, meat of the day, and desserts. Everything is fabulous and fresh. I particularly like that some ingredients were added to the pizza after it was cooked to keep their freshness. For example, figs and prosciutto. The figs were so plump and fresh, amazing. The meat of the day is always a nice plate that is well thought out so don't get turned off by the steep price, it's well worth it. If you have a sweetthoot has just like I do, I recommend the homemade doughnut. It's filled with a delicious lemon curd and it's served warm with some sprinkled sugar. The apple pie is also great but if you expect an North American apple pie you'll be disappointed. There isn't much cinnamon or spiced to it, the boyfriend who hates cinnamon simple loves this dessert. We haven't had the chocolate mousse yet since the staff highly recommends the 2 other desserts.
Price wise, the pizzas are average price, something around $16-$18. The meat of the day is around $30 and desserts are $5. I never have much to drink since this is our "we got late from the office let's not cook" joint so I can't give much details on the wine list.
Ambience wise they really hit the spot. It's got that laid back yeah classy feeling which blends perfectly with the neighbourhood. On week nights they will have music in the "John Mayer" category and the tempo increases as you get later in the week and night.
A reservation on Friday and Saturday is recommended, they can usually accommodate walk-ins any other day.
Oh, did I mention they have an authentic wood burning pizza oven!
