We have lived in Gainesville forever, and driven past this place many a times. My husband suggested we finally try this place out and I didnt hesistate to say YES!
It was around 3 on a wednesday, place had a few other patrons. Inside its quiet, dark, and the booth was comfortable. Jessica was our superb waitress.
We asked how big the salads are since we usually share a small at our other pizza place, and she indicated that the small was really not for sharing. We ordered a large Micanopy Salad (7.50) Which is a big salad with mixed greens, carrots, grape tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions. All the dressings are house made and we chose the balsamic Vinaigrette. The salad was really fresh, and the dressing was very yummy. Next time we will try the Lemon Vinaigrette for sure. I am a sucker for house made dressins!
We wanted to try a pizza, and as soon as I saw the description for their Vongole pizza...I was done. Â Vongole- Garlic Butter, Cedar Key Clams, Capers, Roasted Garlic, Parmesean, Romano, and Parsley. (13.50) only comes in the thin crust which is what we wanted anyway. The other option is a sicilian style which are thick crust pan pizzas. (next time!)
The Pie came out and it was a golden crusty amazingness topped with tons of (still in the shell) clams, garlic, capers....Perfectly cooked all crispy. The clams were tender, and salty and so fresh. We polished off the whole thing. It was delicious!
We will go back, cause we want to try everything now. The service was outstanding, the ambiance is chill, and to just take a nice drive out of town to still eat local is what we love to do.
