| - We took my dad for the first time tonight. My dad is Italian and a tough critic when it comes to pizza... He officially declared that we would be eating here at least once every time he comes to town. We all agreed it's better than his former favorite, Humble Pie.
His initial observation was that the atmosphere was great- and he's right. The decor is simple, hip and classy. The restaurant is spacious and not over crowded with tables. However, the tables themselves weren't quite big enough to hold all the food we ordered. Once we all had a glass of water, beers for my dad and husband and sangria for myself, there wasn't a whole heck of a lot of room on the table left for food and serving plates.
Every time we've been here the staff has been wonderful to my daughter. Both of the male servers we've had have totally doted on her. There was plenty of space for her to toddle around our table and the high chairs have always been nice and clean (there's nothing worse than a crusty high chair). We asked if they could bring her anything to snack on while we waited for our antipasti and pizzas so they brought her a little side of pear slices, crackers and cheese while we waited for our food. Perfect! Kept her happily nibbling til more food came.
The antipasti we ordered as a starter was delicious! The giant hunks of elephant garlic were roasted til they were soft, sweet and tender. And the proscuitto-wrapped goat cheese was great. We had a debate over who would eat the last one. (Dad got it... he weeded our whole yard today. It's the least I could do!)
For pizzas we ordered the mushroom and the Sicily (how could we NOT with our Sicilian roots). The Schreiner's sausage was great, but the most Sicilian thing in the room was my dad. There's nothing all that "Sicilian" about the pizza overall, other than the fact that it's fantastic (as all things Sicilian are). But to me, Sicilian flavors incorporate far more fresh produce and seafood. Regardless of my opinions of the definition of Sicilian cuisine, bottom line: Sicily pizza = yum. However, the mushroom pizza might have been the BEST mushroom pizza I've ever had. The goat cheese was mildly sweet and super creamy which was a great contrast to the full earthy flavors of the mushrooms and truffle oil, and it came with a generous serving of fresh spinach on top.
I always look forward to coming back here. It's inexpensive enough to always order our tried and true favorites, along with something new and exciting.
