| - Only after sitting down and getting comfortable to write this review did I realize my Yelp reviews have been pizza-laden, to say the least. To anyone who has an inexplicable interest in my eating habits, yes, I do eat more than just pizza. But tonight, it was UNA, and it was ballin'. Pizza-Ballin', you might say. Not in the sense that there are a bunch of G's pushing stacks at UNA's tables (although Jay-Z did make an appearance in the artwork adorning the east wall), but because I felt like I was in a rap video raining bills when it came time to pay - or at least, my girlfriend certainly did. The best.
Anyways, that was hyperbolic, so let's rewind. The old adage "you get what you pay for" held true on this evening. Despite being a little bit more expensive than the average night out, once the food hits your lips, you'll feel the purse strings start to loosen. The Prosciutto pizza we shared was excellent, as were the meatballs and broccoli that preceded it. Washed down with a glass of Sur de los Andes Malbec, and....climax.
The only qualm I had was that it was 30 degrees outside, the AC was seemingly minimal, and chef-side seating bordered on sauna-esque. 4.5 star material, for those in a bad mood. But really, these days happen between 2-6 times a year in Calgary, so complaining about it is in poor taste in my opinion. The other 359-363 days of the year, I'm sure you'll be close to perfectly comfortable.
I would definitely recommend UNA. Good vibe, great food, interesting selections and preparation.
Go now! Run there!
