Dishes mentioned
Pizza Fritta con Burrata, Pomodorini e Rucola
This fried pizza is very crunchy and golden, but I think it was maybe ten seconds over in the oil — slightly too fried. The dough is good though, and it's probably the same dough we'll have in the pizzas. Inside there's the creamy stracciatella from the burrata, which balances it out. Not bad at all.
Pizza con Mozzarella, Gorgonzola e Miele
Simple and balanced, no excessive toppings — just mozzarella, gorgonzola and honey. The dough is very hydrated, probably 70%, and it melts in your mouth. It's indisputably good. The only downside is the size — it's so good you'll want another one.
Pizza con Bufala Campana, Capperi, Scarola e Olive
This is the classic Neapolitan scarola pizza on a round base: buffalo mozzarella, capers, escarole and olives. It passed the test perfectly. Again, the only issue is that it's small — but it's made according to the rules of art, nothing to complain about.
Grappa Barricata
A barrel-aged grappa served at room temperature — just the way I like it. They even have a proper grappa glass, which is a nice touch. I didn't ask which one it was, but it's a very good grappa, no complaints.
