Really, you would not know it was in the 80's just a few days ago. The Kimster and I rode BART to cold, windy Glen Park for some special pizza, and wound up shivering on a bench outside Gialina for a good hour before our cozy table was finally ready.
Worth it? Yes. We shared the arugula salad with ruby beets, goat cheese and lots of pistachios; bruschetta with a lovely green fava puree, marinated anchovies and shaved radish; the Atomica pizza, seriously thin-crusted and blistery around the edges, lightly cheesed and topped with portabello slices and red onion. Even the crusts got eaten. And I daresay we could've had dessert as well, but it was getting late.
Kimster commented that it's amazing how sometimes the simplest food is the very best. Wiser words were never spoken...not in this blog, at least.

Thanks for the honorable mention :)
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, Gialina's was delicious. My offer still stands - if you need a partner in crime, I'm your grrl...for the sake of the blog, of course.
