This pizza place was very crowded when I went to Wimbly Lu the other day (it's located just next to Wimbly Lu), so I specially made a trip back there to give it a try. Reservations for dinner are recommended as the place isn't too big, and can be easily done via their website online.Their kitchen is visible to patrons, and they have an angmoh head chef. Service is extremely prompt as well, and their staff would refill your water every now and then.For appetizers, we had the Pane All'aglio: Garli
This pizza place was very crowded when I went to Wimbly Lu the other day (it's located just next to Wimbly Lu), so I specially made a trip back there to give it a try. Reservations for dinner are recommended as the place isn't too big, and can be easily done via their website online.
Their kitchen is visible to patrons, and they have an angmoh head chef. Service is extremely prompt as well, and their staff would refill your water every now and then.
For appetizers, we had the Pane All'aglio: Garlic Bread ($6.90). It isn't your typical garlic bread, but pizza-like with a crispy crust, with shreds of garlic sprinkled on it. I love bread so it went well with me, but my friend thought that it was a little too bland. I wouldn't recommend this though, not exceptional and tasted a little like pita/naan, and it's better to save space for mains.
We had the Pizzoccheri Della Valtellina ($14.90); it's basically pasta with butter, sage, potato and cheese. As it was stated that this was their specialty, I had high expectations for it. However, I was utterly disappointed. It came as a huge bowl covered with bread, and one of the staff helped to cut it up. It was extremely tasteless and hard to finish; the mixture consisted of pasta, pieces of potato and cheese, with a few pieces of greens, and was watery; it tasted like all these ingredients have just been thrown into water and boiled (without any spice whatsoever).
For pizza, we tried the Proscciutto e Funghi ($15.90): pizza with ham and mushrooms. This was pretty average, crust was thin; the combination of ingredients wasn't impressive though. However, it's good for its price, as portion is big (8 slices of pizza); can probably be shared between 2 small eaters.Bill totalled around $45 for 2 persons for 3 dishes.
Overall, this place has good and prompt service, but quality of food is debatable. Do go for their pizzas if you're with friends and in the vicinity, as their pizzas are the most value for money out of all dishes available; if not, it's not worth a special trip.
