| - I swear I reviewed this restaurant before....
Anyways, I had a chance to go back last night, and it was as good as I remembered. However, I don't think it deserves a five star rating because of the inconsistent service and small portion sizes.
We started out with the Caprese (tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, olive oil, and sea salt), and the Misto (meat, cheese, and vegetable sampler). The tomatoes in the Caprese salad had seen better days, and the mozzarella was -just OK. The Italian meat selection in the Misto was quality, but I was not a fan of eggplant or olives that came with appetizer.
We decided to share 2 pizzas for 5 adults. First we chose the Margherita which was basically a cheese pizza with a touch of basil throughout. What I really liked about this pizza was the tomato sauce. It is flavorful and not too thick and pasty -like other pizza places. Our second pizza was the Settebello which was really different and delicious. What I liked about this particular pizza was the addition of toasted pine nuts. It gave the pizza a nice crunch and went perfectly with the sausage, pancetta, and mushrooms.
For dessert we chose the nutella pizza. This amazing dessert is their pizza dough with nutella, bananas, almonds, and powdered sugar on top. Messy - but worth it! I was only able to get a bite of this wonderful treat because my wife turns into the incredible Hulk if you mess with her dessert. Next time, we may have to order 2 nutella pizzas......
