Giardino Pizza Bar & Grill (Closed)

another night we had visited Chijmes, this time we chose this 'pizza' place. We had ordered Calzone Vesuvio (signature dish here) and one spaghetti with seafood! This is a very juicy dish! Rich in taste as well. Sadly the portion is a bit small Calzone Vesuvio does't seem to be my type. It is a huge dish though, very meaty indeed... when it colds down, it doesn't taste nice at all... so it is advise to taste it when it is still warm...

It was our first visit to Pizzarie Giardino. The dome-like design is quite impressive. I ordered the Amatricana ($21), and loving it. The generous portion is slightly too much for me though.

If you're one of those people that require the comfort of air-conditioned surroundings, this is definitely not the place for you. Despite the prevalence of fans and a slight

Romance is in the evening air at Chijmes. Sitting near the bar allows the diner to fully absorb the magical surroundings.Pizza is the restaurant's specialty. Being huge fans of cheese, we ordered a four cheese pizza. The moment it arrived, we could detect the rich smell of cheese present in that smoking hot pizza. Though slightly salty, it more than made up for its flaw with the mixture of flavors that constantly danced around our tongues.Definitely worth every single cent!
