Cafe Tamburelli's

Randomly stopped here on the way back to DC from Rehoboth. I'm originally from NJ and my friend is from NY and we were SO THRILLED to find a place with real pizza! You may not be aware, but DC is where pizza goes to die, so we miss our roots. I had the italian sausage with mushroom and she got a meatball sub and both of us were in heaven. I even ordered a second pizza to go. Turns out the owner learned his craft in NJ which is why this place rocks. It's nothing fancy, but the best italian I've had outside of home. Waitress was really friendly and owner (while amused at our excitement) chatted a bit.

Decent pizza, decent service. It's a pizza place. Nothing really great, nothing really lousy.

Tables were sticky. Waitress was nice. Garlic bread was doughy. They don't have the garlic knots any longer according to the waitress. Pizza was good new york style slices  The Stromboli was large and good. The cannoli was the best part of the meal. Overall, very average.
