Mozzarella Fritta: Flash-Fried Breaded Fresh Mozzarella with Artist Palette Condiments – $9.00
This comes on a “palette” with an assortment of dipping sauces. The green sauce is pesto, while the brown is balsamic vinegar, possibly a glaze. The red sauce tasted like marinara to us. The pink sauce is an aioli. There’s nothing special about this. The breading is of a poor quality. The cheese isn’t memorable, though the presentation is fun. We’d pass on this. It’s just not worthwhile. We rate this a 1 out of 7.
*NEW* Tricolore: Cheese-Filled Ravioloni, Pomodoro, Cream, and Pesto Sauces – $8.75
The ravioloni themselves are cheese-filled but otherwise unremarkable. The pomodoro sauce was bland. We couldn’t taste any spices whatsoever; it was like plain tomato sauce from the grocery store. Picky eaters or children might enjoy it. The cream sauce still wasn’t anything special but it had a little but of richness that we appreciated. The pesto was pretty good. It’s not high quality but it’s definitely better than the other two. We rate this a 3 out of 7.
*NEW* Hazelnut S’more Cannoli: Cannoli Shell Dipped in Chocolate and Graham Cracker, Chocolate-Hazelnut Cannoli Cream, and Toasted Marshmallows – $5.50
The cannoli shell is crispy, a little on the thick side, but decent. Putting graham cracker on it makes it a little dry. It’s not bad, but it’s not a great cannoli either. We rate this a 4 out of 7.
Peroni Pilsner (5.1% ABV) – $6.50 for 6 oz., $11.00 for 12 oz.
Peroni Brewery describes their beer as “a crisp and refreshing beer with a delicate balance of bitterness, citrus and spicy aromatic notes, combined with a fast and clean finish.”
Italian Red Sangria – $12.00
Have you ever put red wine in the microwave? That’s what this is. We thought sangria came with ice and fruit, but this was just a room temperature liquid. The flavor was fruity, so it could have been really good, but as it got hotter, it was just too warm to drink. We rate this a 1 out of 7.
Italian Margarita with Tequila, Triple Sec, and Fabrizia Limoncello ($20/bottle) – $12.00
The margarita was quite good as it tasted almost like a melting lemon ice dessert. However, there didn’t seem to be much liquor in the drink, as we didn’t taste much besides the faint hint of tequila. Overall, this is a tasty drink, but don’t expect to get much alcohol for your money here. We rate this a 5 out of 7.
*NEW* Mela Spritz: Apple Schnapps, Prosecco, and Sparkling Water – $15.00
This tastes like alcoholic apple juice in a bad way. We don’t recommend this. We rate this a 2 out of 7.
