I love great pizza....and this little restaurant in an old renovated train station did not disappoint me! Late night working at the new job, walking the city after 7 pm looking for something to take the chill off, but not wanting a fancy schmancy restaurant Pizzaiolle was a gem to stumble upon.
A split of Chianti began the evening. Starter was a well dressed Caesar salad with fresh croutons and obviously a homemade dressing. The romaine was not drenched, as each leaf was turned in the bowl making sure each had just enough of the creamy goodness sitting on it.
The pizzas are individual size (no ordering small, med or large here my friends). I'm starting with the crust - just the right amount of yeast and a hint of sweetness kept the inside moist and the outside perfectly crisp. The choices are varied from a simple Margherita to one that is topped with shrimp, prosciutto, creme fraiche....and the list goes on! We chose to share one and had sundried tomatoes and balsamic vinegar to compliment the fresh mozzarella and rich tomato sauce. A touch of dried pepper flakes added when presented sent our taste buds over the top!
So, how to end this wonderful meal? Tiramisu of course! This creamy delight covered thick with powdered cocoa arrived in a small clear stemmed glass bowl. Not the normal square chunk typically served locally I can tell you that! Every bite, and we ate slowly, was delightful - the light n' creamy cocoa tinged marscapone zabaglione, the ever so lightly espresso kissed lady fingers and the wonderful hint of marsala can only be described as heaven on the tongue!
Great dining experience through and through! -

Nice spot off the beaten path. Wife and I had antipasto salad and split a pizza with sauce, goat cheese, and basil. Kids split pepperoni pizza. Everyone was happy.
