Boys were not restaurant-ready last night but I was in the mood for something delicious, so I thought of where to try takeout from. Had seen a feature on Real Food and Spirits. The whole interview was a little absurd (women want ___; men want ___; women decide on where to go, so we added food for the women!). But it sounded like they had good Neapolitan pizza.
Atmosphere: chill, sophisticated neighborhood bar, cool for being in the Lomas Santa Fe strip mall near the tire store.
Entryway: oh! they have gelato from Bottega Italiana in UTC. I'd know that mojito gelato anywhere!
Servers: friendly, helped me with my carryout.
Food at home:
--Boys each got a kids' size pizza for $8. They were quite large. SuperBoy liked it, but Cute Husband did not. It really had a "kids" taste to it - mixture of mozzarella and cheddar, pretty sweet. CH is not interested in going to this place again.
--"Italian inspired" Caesar salad for $12. Fine, but very ordinary. Not humongous. Not worth $12, especially to eat at home.
--My margherita pizza: added eggplant to it. Tasty, not great. Certainly better than having to drive to North Park for neapolitan pizza. However, they told me it would be 30-40 mins. for takeout, and by the time I got there and brought the pizza home, it was C-O-L-D. So I had to heat it in the microwave and it lost something. Was tasty for dinner - not sure I'd spend time going to that restaurant v. other choices.
Looks like a cool place to have a drink with friends if you have time for that. Not my perfect place for a GNO. Not sure I'd do takeout from here again. HOWEVER, it's nice to have that gelato available in SB, and I think the place is open all day, not just for dinner. Yum....pistachio/coconut/chocolate/mojito gelato near Marshall's and Sprouts!
