(between 37th and 38th
Streets)
My new favorite Italian pizza place! Thin crust pizza with
the taste of Naples—what’s not to like?
The restaurant is cozy and comfortable and the food is
excellent. Has a wonderful “neighborhood-feel” to it.
Started off with a glass of pinot grigio ($9), which was very light and
basically tasted like fruity water.
I soon switched to a heartier red—the Nero D’avola ($12). Definitely better suited for pizza and pasta!
For our appetizer, we ordered a roasted beet salad—bronta pistachio
nuts, goat cheese, and wild arugula. LOVE red beets ($11.50).
For our pizza dish, we went for the Truscan Brunch Pizza ($16),
which was topped with mozzarella, smoked prosciutto, and farm egg, and fresh
spinach. Soooo good!!!
We also ordered a pasta dish—fusilli lunghi siciliano pesto
trapanese ($11.75). Had an interesting salty, anchovy taste.
Though we were full from our meal, our fellow diners
insisted that we try one of the restaurant’s homemade desserts. The lady who
was sitting in the next table over raved over their gelato dessert, so we of
course had to try it.
And we were not disappointed. We ordered the Gelato
Pistachio Crushed Ameretti ($8.75) and it was a perfect dessert for sharing.
Perfect ending to a close-to-perfect meal!
Pros:
Excellent thin-crust pizza.
Friendly service and friendly patrons!
Cons:
Opens at 2 p.m. on weekends.
Final Thoughts
Will be a frequent customer.
