La Burrata review: our verdict
The name speaks for itself, and the burrata arrives whole on a colorful tomato salad as a starter, before the star of the show: a wood-fired pizza with light, well-cooked dough, served on a board atop red checkered tablecloths. The pasta also holds its own, featuring creamy penne, shrimp and clam spaghetti, and a cuttlefish carpaccio to open the meal.
The dining room is small and narrow, adorned with hanging ivy, framed pictures, and bistro lamps, with a terrace under a yellow-and-white striped awning. Service is quick and attentive. This is the spot for a dinner for two or with friends who love pizza; not for a discreet business lunch, as you are close to your neighbors and, on the terrace, staff shuttle back and forth with the coffee shop across the street.
The dish to order: the burrata as a starter, followed by a wood-fired pizza. The trap: the terrace during peak hours, amidst the constant comings and goings. The best time slot: lunch, as the house opens from 11:45 every day.
