When we got to Italy there was a rather long line that we joined thinking it was the ADR check-in line. There was a couple behind us that declared it couldnt be since we would be late for our ADRs if we had to wait in this line. Well for those with ADRs you go inside the restaurant to check in. Makes sense.
Check-in line - errr... the wrong one that I was in:
We checked in and had about a 10 minute wait before we were seated.
This was a new restaurant for us. The interior of the restaurant was one big noisy room. It had the 3 big ovens (Vesuvious, Etna, and Stromboli.
We were seated at a table for two and Daniela was our server. The table was a bit small but we made do.

Look at how they torture the lemons here!
Once again, we were not hungry so decided to share an appetizer and an individual pizza. We split the caprese salad (tomato/mozzarella with basil.) I asked for balsamic vinegar since it needed a little something to be added. The salad consisted of only 2 tomato slices and 2 pieces of cheese rather small for $9.
Caprese salad:
For our main course, we split the Margherita pizza (individual) which was perfect to split. The pizza was wonderful! It was the perfect proportion of tomato, mozzarella, and basil. The crust was thin and not greasy/oily at all. We really liked this place!
Margherita pizza:
Em opted for dessert and got the vanilla gelato with an almond brittle garnish. In my book gelato = ice-cream. Someone needs to convince me differently.. of course, I dont really eat ice-cream so perhaps Im not the best judge to compare the two. Em really enjoyed the dessert. She offered me the almond brittle and it was delicious I could have had a large chunk of that.
The bill with the $7.40 TiW discount (and 18% gratuity) was $38.19 for 1 appetizer, 1 individual pizza, 1 beverage, and 1 dessert. Really, when I compare this to other TS restaurants, it is rather expensive for the amount of food we actually received.
I am looking forward to coming back here in August!
