| - Hello Sexy!
First off I have to start with raves about the service.
I have been in the service industry since I have been 16 and let me tell you, the servers last night at UNA would make me look like the meanest most lazy server. They were even nice to the homeless guy who came in and ask for food.
We arrived at UNA at 745pm after trying to make a reservation prior, (they don't make them). We were greeted very nicely by a very friendly, attractive hostess. Told that they would take our phone # and call us back when they had room for us. (45 mins)
We showed up 45 mins later and decided to have a jug of wine and party in the entrance. 30 mins later our table was ready.
Our server, 'BRITTNI' who could be the most honest sweet person in the industry welcomed us. Took the time to tell us about the menu and have playful banter without missing a beat on with the other tables.
Lets get to the good stuff, the food.
We ordered:
-Fresh Tomatoes roasted with sea salt and sherry vinegar, served with crustinis ($7, wish there was more then 4 crustinis, but worth the price)
-Goat cheese and boar bacon stuffed mushrooms ($9, 100% delicious, but 5 small mushrooms for a steep cost)
and two pizzas. (with the most delicious crust!!!)
-Mushroom with truffle oil ($19) real quartered mushrooms, parm, arugula...TO DIE FOR!
-Prociutto($20) BORING! this pizza alone lost UNA one of the stars for me, totally stingy on the prosciutto. ohhhh UNA!
and my fav order of the night (besides the half litter of wine ($23, red house) was the
Q WATER.
($2/per person)
sparkling or flat, all you can drink of the 4 time distilled house water.
At first I thought these people are outta there mind and heading for a 2 star rating by charging for water, but I love Perrier, and 2 bucks for something that fizzes better... I will be back because of it.
Alright lets Quick pro/con this place
PROS:
-Brittni, our server
-The call back system
-Its hip
-the food! BEST pizza resturant in Calgary!!
CONS:
-Stingy on the Prosciutto( tisk tisk)
All in all, you'd think the hour and a half wait would have soured me, but its warm and welcoming place to be on a Friday night, good company, good background music, good water, FANTASTIC service!
Cant wait to be back!
