La Piadina
106 Glenayr Ave
Sydney, NSW 2026
Danz & I had our 4th anniversary a few weekends ago, so to celebrate being the food
lovers we are, we decided to check out La Piadina which had been highly recommended.
A little piadinerie,
with a funky feel to it.
It took us while to finally decide what to order. I felt like something light and basic, so Danz got stuck with what I wanted. The
options were too good and we simply wanted to try everything on the menu.
Limoncello to finish off the meal, perhaps?
This didn't happen. So we settled for an espresso while we waited for our food, and we watched. You can see it all! From them cooking the dough to slicing the prosciutto fresh
off the bone right down to the final touches of sprinkling the pepper.
We ordered 2 to share; (the menu is numbered, so I don't have names)
First, what I would
call a Speciale, with buffalo mozzarella, cherry tomatoes and basil.
This
combination is my all time favourite for ANYTHING!!!
Yes, it's basic but the flavours are perfect everytime. The warm bread slowly melting the cheese, with the fresh basil and juicy tomatoes full of so much flavour. & yeah this may sound funny but the salt and pepper really add to it.
Second, buffalo
mozzarella, prosciutto, rocket and cherry tomatoes.
Danz and I created a pizza based on this very
combination

Again, the warm bread & melting cheese, with
the soft taste of the cold freshly sliced prosciutto, add the strong taste of
rocket & you have...
Perfection!
The menu is great, and
I definitely have a few more still to try. Speck is a must next time, as I
haven’t had speck since Italy.
From what I understand speck is a double smoked prosciutto
the vegetarians, the
carnivores,
the gourmets and the basic’s
they have you covered
& of course we couldn’t pass on a mini Nutella piadina.
I won't lie!
I was wishing for it to be large and ooooozing with warm Nutella.
But no...
A perfect dessert to top off a wondeful meal!
