Why visit a restaurant
multiple times in looking at the quality? Bad days hit everyone. Food venues with all bad days fail. Most adjust, grow and improve.
Delicata Pizza & Gelato is evolving in the right direction. Great!
Our first visit there was disappointing. A small pizza at a pretty big price...enough to serve one person.
So, we waited.
Visit two--brunch--an interesting variety of choices at reasonable prices.
Which led us to visit 3 today---an excellent meal.
We shared the 'big mixed
salad' was enough for 2 or more (greens, proscuitto, hard cooked egg,
gigante beans, sun dried tomatoes, fontina, pickled onions)
...and the roasted Paesono Potatoes--potato, squash, onions, fontina, bacon & topped with an egg.
Both were superior.
The salad contained the most
delicious, sweet, sun-dried tomatoes--John said he would eat a place of just sun-dried tomatoes! Our server added that they arrive in jars in oil...imported from Italy. I would drive to Italy for these : ) John had never dined on gigande beans (that he remembers--although I've made several gigande bean dishes over the years). He loved the texture and creaminess. Overall, the plate offered variety in each bite---greens with pickled onions, gigande bean with cheese, egg with greens, sun dried tomato---all by itself followed by a big smile!
The roasted Potato Paesono was
rich and satisfying. A little bit of egg with cheese melted into
potatoes and squash...each bite warmed you on a cold MN day (okay,
average warm MN day that Super Bowl attendees should
just be quiet and appreciate
)
We are so glad that we've patiently waited as Delicata evolved. Today's meal would be 5 out of 5 stars. Tremendous.
