We had lunch at Pizza e Birra today, to celebrate a record breaking month in June. The establishment was hard-to-miss, though it lacked signage. We got there at about 12.30pm where it was still empty, and by 1pm, it was packed! The interior was airy, with large warehouse windows, cemented ceilings and basic wooden chairs and tables (we sat on the only round table). We were firstly served complimentary bread and organic extra virgin olive oil. The bread was excellent. For main's, I ordered the Maccheroni which was served in fresh tomatoes and basil. The crispy eggplant was awesome and wasn't one bit too oily.
The crispy potatoes, garlic and rosemary is also a must. For dessert, I had the Banana pizza. The belgium chocolate sauce was irresistable! (I wiped it all up with the pizza base!).
The food looks pretty ordinary, but it's got a lovely menu that is obviously high in quality.
