I must admit, I never came here since I thought it was just your usual pub food... I was wrong

What we had: 

Drinks​

So... We started off with some house cocktails (as you do) it's always a great was to relax after a long day. Nice fruity flavors, and smooth.  

Burrata

What lured me to this was the menu description "melts in your mouth" 😂... I had to have it, cheese is always a good time. Serviced with tomato, olive oil, and balsamic glaze this insane combo of mozzarella and stracciattela cream was amazing ♥️. Almost ordered seconds... Slight regrets.

The Pizza

Ok, so this was the main lure. Watching two Italian chefs freshly prep dough and create pizza was definitely a good time in my books. Spoilers that dough is 👌

Siciliana  

First up was the tomato base (rosso) pizza topped with Fior di Latte, pork sausage, char-grilled eggplant, black olives ♥️, basil and olive oil 😊. Insanely flavourful, great combination, and even the grilled eggplant caught me by surprise and was really enjoyable lol. 

Boscalola  

Truffle paste... Yep, that was all it took 😂 

This was beautiful. That strong truffle flavor😍. Porcini Mushroom, shaved parmesan, Fior di Latte, pork sausage, fresh rocket, and olive oil... Yeah, it was so hard to "share" this. Really can't get over this fluffy dough... And watching it being prepared in front of us was an amazing experience. 

Dessert : Nutella Calzone  

Same amazing pizza dough, wrapped over sweet delicious Nutella.. Topped with banana and dusted over with sugar. Served with a side of vanilla bean ice-cream.  

Summary  

Yes, we rolled out of here 😂. Totally blew my expectations and just had an incredible night. Really looking forward to another return.
