Review


This is a bar/restaurant and the name implies. I mention that because they close sometime around 5:00 in the afternoon and are not open for dinner. This is family-run and they are content with a lunch crowd.

That out of the way, this was the best GF pizza we had in Italy, including the place I previously reviewed in Milan. The crust was crisp, firm and chewy - an elusive trio when making GF pizza crusts. And the real deal was the perfect pizza sauce which, in combination of that crust, made for a phenomenal pizza. Worth the effort to find this place.

Now, they also have GF lasagna and tortellini which may be as good as the pizza. The lasagna was soooo good we had to order two since my bride really didn't want to share hers. And we took the tortellini to go for a snack later on. Even semi-cold and eating with our fingers, it was excellent.

Oh, and if it matters, they also have San Miguel which is a very serviceable GF beer in the lager style. So good on a hot day that I had three. ;-)
