I guess thought it was going to be better, and I did have somewhat higher expectations ---…read moreregarding their pizzas that is. I'm not really reviewing the market's concept with looks pretty cool. Fresh pastas by weight and a fairly large selection of Italian specialties, perhaps I may have a better taste in my mouth after trying those items. In a crusty shell, I got their vegetarian pizza to go (personal size - which is actually a fair size and comes with a decent price tag $8 or 9 +T). Apart from having to wait a bit longer than you would expect for a fresh pizza it came out hot and looked pretty good. Even the first couple of bites seemed to be alright and even somewhat tasty, but then bite after bite it got worse and worse. There was an odd something going on with their dough and/or sauce and/or cheese and/or vegetable situation/combination, that made me feel a little yucky after eating it. I'm not a big fan of that happening and who would be. You should never feel yucky after eating a pizza. Even after eating a whole small. You may feel stuffed, but be happily full; satisfied and even proud you ate it all up. So, when I saw the high star rating I was a bit surprised, and by chance I saw another 1* review that concurred with my experience, so I don't feel like I'm the only one who had this feeling and experience. Note: Their system for where to go, stand and order where not very clear, so that could also use some work. The shop has a bit of a complicated layout which doesn't help matters. Maybe they've worked on that over the last several weeks/months, and if not they probably should to make it as safe and efficient as possible. I think that's fair to hope for...

Even in diverse Bay Area, finding an Italian restaurant that specializes in cuisine from Puglia is rare, so when I heard about La Panzeria from I knew I had to try. I originally was introduced to Puglia years ago because of its olives but learned about its love of burrata from a local global foodie friend from Puglia. Needless to say, burrata was definitely present in all our choices which were all Pugliese classics. Orecchiette Maison Avec pesto and burrata, panino polignano with octopus and burrata, and their focaccia barese with mortadella, pistachio, and burrata. This was my favorite meal there as I would absolutely get everything again although my favorite was the foccacia barese that I got to see them top from our table.

They have a daily pasta meal and focaccia. Their menu is written on the mirror. I've never had a focaccia so I really wanted to try that first but my top would be to try their meat sauce. It looks so good. This place is mainly for takeout. But if you eat in they will prepare your tray and bring it to you but they don't have plates yet. They do have utensils and water though. Seating it tight but every time I pass by people get to go so you shouldn't have a problem sitting down. Especially now that it's winter. A foccacia is like a reverse pizza/calzone type of thing. It's an Italian dish and it's the pizza dough that covers all the ingredients. Mine was tehina, red cabbage, eggplant, and Guanciale (Italian cured meat from pork jowl/cheek). The flavours were good. I just thought it maybe missed something to give it a kick. I'm giving it a four because I haven't tried everything so I don't think it overall deserves a 3 even though the focaccia was a 3 to me. Prices are also decent. Around $13-15 for a pasta plate. And the focaccia was $4.60 with tax.

We got big green grapes that were quite pricey, nearly $20 USD but they were just grapes, they were more juicy though. There are also a few places to eat, we ended up at a bakery cafe at the end upstairs. They had different sandwiches and focaccia similar to a pizza type. They heat these up so it was perfect to eat right away. *Warning* There was a an issue of not being labeled nut and asking the worker if there was any and they said no but after confirming with the cook there was walnut in the bread. So I would be extra careful about that. Other than that they had foie gras for sale as well as many other places that had it as well. There were a few grocery stores and butcher shops so there is a lot to choose from if you are looking for different types. There were a few dessert places but the place isn't too big with more variety for grocery food items.

Because of the positive exchange when I dropped by while in the neighborhood a year or two ago, I…read moredecided I would return. After all, Pizzeria Napoletana is one of the best known pizzerias in Little Italy, and in Montreal. I also learned that they accept credit cards, which is important for folks who are from out of town. I walked in and they were busy. After a short while, I was seated. There was a long table of about a dozen university-aged girls nearby and I was able to preview the service from that. My server was attending to them, checking in with them, and bringing them what they requested. He was also the same way with me, which was appreciated, so I can say that the service is now much better, or it was on this evening. There was a small amount of confusion. Pizzeria Napoletana puts their own names on their different pizzas. There's nothing wrong with that if that's what they want to do and many restaurants come up with their own names for dishes. However, for a handful of standard and popular pizzas in Italy and elsewhere, they should feature them with the same name and same ingredients. They do for the Margherita. However, I was hoping to find a "capricciosa" or a "quattro stagioni" like the ones I've eaten for years. I couldn't, so the server got me to the pizza closest to a "capricciosa" after telling him what they usually contain and we added an ingredient for a small upcharge. The pizza was definitely fine, but not memorable like I was expecting it to be. I think it had to do with the edges and interior of the crust, with the edge being a little crustier and the interior tearing apart too easily. If you've had the local pizza from a wood-fired oven in Naples or Campania, it generally is memorable. The prices seemed reasonable, less so with additions, and in the ball park for what is now a more and more sought after Little Italy. I am glad they now take credit cards because, if they didn't, I wouldn't have gone in. I avoid businesses that don't take plastic when traveling. Also, they are definitely authentic, dating back to something like 1948. If asked in English, they would not say "Naa-boo-lee-dahn," which is what a Jersey Shore Italian-American might say because they are too diluted and disconnected. Even if it's Gino the Canadian, he'll say Neapolitan in Italian closer to how it should be pronounced, even if in the regional dialect. Pizzeria Napoletana is fine. It's that I've still got a favorite pizzeria in the Montreal area. For most other people, this pizzeria would be a 4. It may be that I'm pickier when it comes to a type of food I grew up with.
