Ode to Quartino































I cannot believe it has taken me nearly one month to blog about Quartino!  This gem of a restaurant is part of the Gibsons family and serves up authentic Italian trattoria items including housemade salumi and pasta, Neopolitan pizzas and seasonal specialties.  There are more than 30 different Italian wine offerings, all hand-picked and served by the carafe. 

Tonight, I only slightly diverged from my traditional order by pairing the grilled zucchini (wrapped around sun-dried tomatoes and garnished with chopped parsley) with a pepperoni pizza.  I dream about this pizza.  It is the perfect combination of a thin, chewy crust with a mostly savory, slightly sweet tomato sauce.  The pepperoni is sliced paper-thin and topped with slightly-crispy Parmesan cheese.

Quartino is never hit or miss and has the perfect menu variety in offerings and size.  Did I mention it's a bargain and a half?! I've been known to go more than twice a week =)
