Return visit to Burrata with my husband
Appetizer two pies
dessert
calamari served w/ a side of aioli
I found the calamari to be just a bit oily and in need of
a sprinkle of salt. In spite of this I really enjoyed it.
Just barely cooked through and not in the least bit rubbery, the buttermilk marinade
most definitely enhanced flavor and texture. I ate the squid without the accompanying aioli, it just didn’t need it. The aioli itself had a nice kick with red pepper overtones…very good
J. Sexton pizza
San Marzano tomato, garlic, burrata, raw basil, extra virgin olive oil,
black pepper, parmigiano cheese
I ordered this minus the black pepper which I despise.
Ugh…the burrata is plopped onto the pizza when it comes out of the oven
I watched and it took a bit of time to do this. Apparently this is their most popular
pizza … I just don’t get it. I could not adjust to the cold milky cheese on the warmish pizza.
The burrata pizza which I had last week was just so much better… if you compare pics you
will see it even looks better. In the time it took to apply the cheese both pies had
cooled to a point where they were no longer hot…just lukewarm the texture of the crust
suffered as well.
Prosciutto pizza
Prosciutto, smoked mozzarella, balsamic red onions, arugula, pecorino.
Substituted regular mozzarella for smoked.
I don’t love mozzarella period … I didn’t love this pizza… I did like the arugula though
and ate most of it
Service was great efficient and friendly
Dessert
zeppole w/ vanilla custard sauce
Burrata can do dessert…delicious little ricotta
pillows. Which were both moist and
very lite … a little citrus going on
The custard sauce and zeppole were
barely sweet enough… perfect
