| - This is my first time visiting Pizza Libretto, and i will definitely be coming back. Our server was kind and thorough. I think he might be new there, but he did a fantastic job. He told us what the pizza of the day was (it was a "four seasons" pizza. The 4 quadrants of the pizza each had ingredients that signify the four seasons. Cool idea). He was also sure to ask if we had any allergies. I asked for a 7-up with grenadine, and he brought me a lovely Jamaican ginger ale with a house made grenadine. I really enjoyed it.
For our apps, we got the flank steak spiedini and calamari. Let me tell you...the flank steak spiedini was delicious. I almost requested a second order of it. The spiedini was on a skewer that also had large croutons on it nestled between the steak. The meat was well seasoned and very tender-not at all overcooked and/or dry. Yum. I don't care what else you get, but if you go to Pizza Libretto and you're a meat eater...don't even hesitate. GET THIS APP!
The calamari was amazing too. I liked the presentation of the calamari being carefully stacked on top of each other to form a triangle. On the bottom of the entire plate was the sauce- a romesco (red pepper and almond) sauce. Now, I kinda feel like all calamari should be served with the sauce at the bottom. No more losing your piece of calamari forever in the ramekin abyss of dipping sauce on the side.
The bread was delicious holy moly. It is freshly baked on site and it was divine. The crust was firm and the inside was soft-just perfect for soaking up the olive oil and balsamic vinegar while still experiencing that satisfying *crunch*. The bread/oil/vinegar is complimentary, as it should be! I've been to a few other restaurants where they charge you for the bread. Are you serious, other restaurants!?
Lastly, we shared a margherita pizza. I enjoyed it. The crust was very thin-wished it was maybe a tad bit firmer. Other than that, the sauce was delicious as was the actual taste of the crust. Just amazing. Now I'm not the HUGEST pizza eater, but my Italian companion gave it a thumbs up.
Overall, I am definitely going to be back here...and I'll definitely be getting the flank steak spiedini!!
