Walking in to an authentic pizzateria, it gave a cozy, warming and welcoming vibe. Friendly staff immediately led us to our seat and served us water. Staff friendly reminded us their size of pizza when considering the food choice.

We ordered their caprese and margerita to share.

Caprese was definitely a good pick to start today's meal. Loaded juicy cherry tomatoes well coated with the drizzled high quality olive oil. Soft moist and gooey burrata added extra creaminess and milky flavour. The topped basil leaves gave a hint of earthiness. Absolutely loving it. Couldnt resist to keep having a big scoop until finishing the whole dish.

Margerita was absolutely promising. Very authentic. Slight burnt edges gave a hint of smokines while dough was soft with a mild yeast flavour. Combining with the sweet marinara flavour and the melty cream mozzarella. Chef mastered the simplest authenticity. Light and indulgent.

After a bit of chitchatting, we decided to order their tiramisu and their Italian orange chocolate tart.
Tiramisu was spot on. Hint of espresso flavour with a creamy cocoa mascarpone cream. Smooth crème with an espresso soaked sponge. Absolutely delicious. Espresso is always the perfect match with cocoa.
The Italian orange chocolate tart (I forgot its actual dish name) was extraordinary. As a chocolate lover, this is a heavenly food. Brownie flavour but lighter. Not as dense hut rich. Love the chopped nuts for a crunch. Dark chocolate paired perfectly with the zesty flavour. Absolutely loving it.

As my friend was in a rush catching a plane after, the whole dining experience was quite rush. I will definitely come back for a better tasting experience and definitely trying out more starters. Well done!
