| - I want to give Novecento 6 stars because of the ricotta. Mmmm, creamy ricotta on pizza with sundried tomatoes... its like a dream. This place has the best ricotta I have ever tasted. It was perfectly creamy and light, like a ricotta-flavored cloud. I could eat it by the spoonful.
For apps we tried the arugula salad, meatballs, and burrata. Burrata cheese is my favorite cheese, so I was very excited to try it. It was good, however, was served cold and I would have preferred it to be closer to room temperature. Burrata is an oozy, gooey cheese, so the colder it is, the less it oozes. Didn't stop me from enjoying it though! The arugula salad was very delicious; great blend of flavors, good portion, perfectly dressed. If I actually had to pick only one appetizer from the three we ordered, I'd probably order that again. The meatballs were also very good, but I wouldn't say memorable.
For pizza we enjoyed the Roma, Smoked Salmon, and made our own with Margherita sauce, ricotta and sundried tomatoes. All were good - the Roma was more popular at the table, and I'm guessing it is because it tastes more "traditional" in terms of what you think of when you think pizza (i.e. tomato sauce). I enjoyed the smoked salmon pizza very much, but it definitely is more for individuals who are seeking out that type of flavor. The best pizza we had all night was our build-your-own pizza, and again - the ricotta stole the show. It was DELICIOUS. Omg I'm drooling just thinking of it.
Pizza was cooked perfectly - they advertise 90 seconds, and that is true, however because they only put a few pizzas in the oven at once, of course it takes longer than just 2 minutes to get your pie. That's fine. It doesn't take any longer than 5 minutes. Crust had great flavor and was nice and chewy and had those yummy crust bubbles that are so fun to eat.
Afterwards we enjoyed some gelato. I haven't eaten enough gelato in my life to know what constitutes good gelato, but the gelato tasted great to me. They will let you try a taste of any flavor before you settle on which one to actually get. Prices are reasonable for both pizza and desserts, and it is a fun place to go eat overall because of the style of the restaurant. It is Subway-like in the way that you order your pizza and choose the toppings, and it is neat to be able to watch it cooking away in their wood-burning stone oven.
I'll definitely be back here. Tastes authentic and delicious, and its a fun place for a casual date or a family dinner. And if you only take one thing from this review, it should be: GET THE RICOTTA!!!! =)
