My husband (ahh!) and I were rounding out our Italian Honeymoon when we finally made it here. At this point, we had been eating lots of pizza, pasta, and sandwiches for the last two weeks, but I guess we just couldn't stop! Thankfully, their food is a bit different from traditional Italian restaurants. It was the little break from the norm we needed to round out our culinary adventure.
Let me start with the beer. Being from California, we desperately missed our beloved breweries. Not a one in sight in Italy, until Bir & Fud. Finally! A location, at last, that had a beer other than Peroni and Nastro Azzurra. We marveled at the beer list! Beers of all types from all over Italy, it was truly heaven. We settled on a Saison and an IPA, delicious. Now we get to say we had an IPA brewed in the hills of Milan!
Next, we split the cod fritter to start. It was mixed with fresh fish and potato and fried to perfection, yet it remained light and wasn't greasy. We split their pizza that had a lot of roasted chilies, unfortunately I can't remember the name. It was just the right amount of spicy and rich with just slightly toasted mozzarella. I'll let you in on a little secret shame: we were full yet so in love with the atmosphere and food that we ordered another pizza. Yes, another one! We split the classic Margarita pizza. We didn't finish it, though. So I guess we aren't that gluttonous. The pizza wasn't the best, but we honestly went for the atmosphere change and beer.
Moral of the story: we didn't want to leave and probably stayed way too long. But, it was the perfect way to round out a once in a life time trip.
