I arrived at about 1pm on a Monday, and the sophisticated-looking, tastefully decorated dining room was empty. A Sade album (Stronger than Pride) was playing in the background.
The head server presented the oversized menu, but there were no pizzas listed. I inquired. He said there were four available: Margherita, Tuna, Seafood and Beef; I opted for the Margherita.
As I waited, a small loaf of warm, fresh bread arrived, with lovely red pepper tapenade. It was so good I didn't bother with the olive oil, which appeared to be extra virgin, infused with lavender.
The pizza arrived not so long after, piping hot. It had very good flavor and texture, with a cracker-thin, crispy crust.
The service was friendly and very attentive. But then again I was their only guest. They meant well, but their English was not excellent. When I asked about WiFi, they heard white wine. When I ordered panna cotta, they heard pistachio tart. It's a good thing they repeat the order.
