As Italian food is near and dear to my heart, I was ecstatic to come to the land of pizza, pasta and bread: the three main food groups.
DISCLAIMER: Italian pizza is much different. The crust is thinner and crispier, it’s lighter and fresher and you don’t feel guilty about polishing off an entire one to yourself.
Osteria Dell Agnolo, located about a block away from the Duomo on Borgo San Lorenzo 24/r, has a Tomato Cucumber and Basil salad for 5 euro that is perfect for hot summer days. The oval plate is dressed in garden fresh veggies, and I added a little olive oil and balsamic for a delicious spin-off of a caprese salad.
Next, the Salame Piccante pizza, (pepperoni) for 7 euro is crisp with a thin layer of oil and tomato with light cheese with sporadic, thick salame. The sauce is tangy, but light and is a perfect complement to the additional toppings and smokey flavor that comes from their wood burning oven.
The pizza overflows on a large serving plate, but can be shared… if you’re willing.
As Frank Sinatra sings in the background, share a ½ liter of wine with a friend at only 8 euro and snack on some bread with oil and parmesan cheese as you wait for your meal at Da’i Boia, a quiet trattoria just east of the Duomo at Dell’Oriulo 58/R.
For an entrée; I had the Gnocchi, Gorgonzola e Rugola, 8 euro, which is in a creamy sauce with lightly dusted Arugula adding a fresh flavor to compliment the rich gnocchi dumplings.
Unlike many American Italian-style dishes, these look skimpy at first sight as noodles don’t even span the entire plate, however, your stomach will disagree with your eyes afterwards.
Adding to the experience, Tony Vincenzo will serve your food with a smile on his face while singing the entire time. And if you’re lucky, Tony might surprise you at the end of your meal with some limoncello… Salute.
Da’I Boia is open from 12,00 to 1,00am everyday and Dell Agnolo is open from 12,00 to 1,30am.
