For Valentine's Day yesterday, SFS and I headed to Little Italy.
And we spent a wonderful afternoon at
Lombardi's.
As their website explains: In 1897 an Italian immigrant reinvented a Napoletana staple food into one of the worlds most eaten foods. New York City was the birth place of New York style pizza. During the year of 1905, Lombardi's was licensed by the City of New York, becoming America's First Pizzeria.
The restaurant is quite large, and we were seated in the wine cellar...
Kinda cool, right?
We started our meal with a Ceasar salad- complete with homemade dressing and croutons.
And then our pizza came! For our toppings we decided upon wild mushrooms and sauteed garlic spinach.
It looked delish, so we were pretty excited to dig in!
And I must tell you- the pizza was heavenly! The sauce was sweet, the toppings were flavorful, and the crust was perfect!
If you ever want to check out these pies for yourself, you can find this lovely restaurant on the corner of Mott Street and Spring Street.
I hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day- thanks for stopping by!
