| - My parents go out for pizza every Sunday, and my husband and I were "visiting" from Denver last weekend. ("Visiting" in quotes, because we are actually down here about every other month.). This Sunday, no exception - PIzza. We are always eager for where they pick (we of course, let me them select.). Rosati's Pizza Sports Pub? Really? What the hell is that? Is it a Rosati's or is it a Sports Pub. Could they pull off both? Rosati's in my mind is a small step up from traditional pizza-chains; but a larger step up from standard delivery and take-out favorites. Enter - the first impression at this new location. HOLY CRAP - this is not a Rosati's. It's a sports bar! More seating and TV's than many of the other spots, an amazing full "round" bar in the center with amazing views of the TV's, and more than ample seating! The place is far larger than it looks from the outside, and spotless. Spotless. Not sterile, just clean, clean, clean. Big-ass Blues Brothers in the center of the bar, which is right out of the gate, eye-catching, and eye-candy if you aren't glued to the TV. The place wasn't crowded, so wasn't too loud, but I can tell you, the TV's also weren't blaring. I can't stand when you are in a sports-bar on a fairly calm night, and you can't even hear yourself think.
Food - as is the usual "Italian Sunday Dinner" we ordered enough food for a third world country. Two apps, two large salads and two pizzas. Sadly, I am not kidding. The apps came out quickly, and for once, the deep fried mushrooms were NOT loaded with grease and so hot you couldn't eat them until they had cooled to the point of being congealed. The salads were more than ample, and a perfect mix of greens, not just iceberg, and LOADED with items as described on the menu. (If you see my other posts, you know how picky I am about salads, and these hit and exceeded the mark.). The dressings were light and fresh, and everything was properly chilled and natural. Both were presented quite well! The pizzas were really delicious. I hate to sound surprised, but I think I had "mediocre" expectations. Many properly scattered, intensely flavored toppings with the perfect balance of cheese and sauce. The crust was cooked perfectly, not burnt on the edges or soggy in the center and HOT when served! Three woohoo's for HOT! Everything was timed perfectly - salads delivered as we were finishing our appetizers; pizza delivered as we were finishing our salads. So how did these four people fit all that darn food on a table? Did they sit at an 8 top? Nope, Nope, Nope. Just a 4-top. Thanks to our outstanding, attentive, customer service oriented server Jessica - who was mindful to quickly remove empties (but not too soon) - she brought a nearby empty small table near us, for the pizza-pies! We called it our "wing-table." (This should really be embarrassing, but I can't stop typing.)
