Pizza Craving

Who can resist yummy and crisp Italian pizza ? Definitely not us. Craving for weeks, we spend the lovely friday evening in a breezy charm three storey restaurant with fainted light accent. Looks tender and inviting, no need to stay neatly. If 6 o'clock been too early for dinner, antipasti should warming up the belly while taking pictures and nibbling some sticks might prevent us from being cranky. People come and go, -couples and groups- all looks happy. The waiters been good, no annoying behaviour even if we stayed for 3 hours and more.


Baked portobello mushroom served naked, and so did the taste. Here is the recipe we've tried from Jamie's kitchen :
  • Rub your big portobello mushroom (whole parts) with pinch of salt first (don't be too much, except you want to throw the mushroom to bins) then olive oil (anykind)
  • Put them aside, upside down. Put the cheddar first, topped with mozzarella cheese (make sure the cheese covers mushroom upper part).
  • Baked for 10 mins on pre-heated oven (or toaster oven) @ 200 C until the mozza melted with visible brown spot.
  • Served. (That easy, eh? :p)
I did not taste the black pepper coffee, but my mint granita was hellish. Like drinking antitussive syrup, ewhhh.. Lemon squash served as a repair then. Sticks, baguettes, and small size bruschetta are free teaser, while the spinach soup was not as tasty as expected. Savoury asparagus crepes served with, umm rich bechamel cheese sauce? (cmiiw). Looks nice, acceptable taste but nothing impressive.

Capriciossa pizza came with layers of ham, sausages, black olives, topped with cheese. Almost full stomach, we enjoyed the thin crisp pizza while browsing old pics. Nights drawn, some were having celebration. Lingering vodka chocolate closed our dinner perfectly.
