Having a long overdue dinner with my lovely girlies and Lady Charm suggested this newly opened Italian fare just around the corner from her office. Ms Little and I were 20 mins late and Lady Charm is already sipping her martini at the bar. The bar is very nice as a place to hang out but we were so hungry we ran straigt to the dinner table.The dining room was packed with people and we saw the front of the room with a few bench seats available so we asked if we can sit there for us girlies to catc

The dining room was packed with people and we saw the front of the room with a few bench seats available so we asked if we can sit there for us girlies to catch up instead. Watiress said that this is the lounge area but they can serve us dinner there as well if we want to. Of course is a big yes!
Since Lady Charm is driving we are not drinking wine and I ask the bartender to make me something nice and I got this special fruity coctail with gin, raspberry, grapefruit juice and mint... very refreshing and good for the beginning of the meal.

Along the way we much on 2 baskets of bread and thinking if we should get the 3rd but manager remind us that there's pizza on its way so maybe not, and he's damn right!
And so... the pizza. They claim they do the pizza in Neapolitan style so let's see if they can match Motorino, my to-go pizza joint... well up till this moment:

The pizza is just smashing!!! The sourdough is tasty, soft and chewy outside with a little burnt and well moist in the middle, and not too thin. The cheese is gooey, the sausage meat has a nice fennal taste and just the right amonut of tomato sauce.
We were so busy chatting and having fun we forgot to take photos for the dessert and coffee... I just had a lovely affagoto and the other ladies shared a tiramisu. The waitress came over with a big glass container and scoop out the tiramisu on the plate... I must say the portion is very generous. Actually not just for this dish but for most items for the money you pay... or maybe I'm so use to the micro size service in HK in the last few years...
Overall was a very good night, food is great, service is ample, not over fussy and we were still well take care despite the fact that we didn't sit in the dining room. What more you need when you have a good catch up with the girlies over some geniune food and decent drinks at a nice place?
I am so coming back to try more on the pizza and pasta.
