All right, this is my second post about Berry. This small
little village, which I am totally in love with. A small cute place which has its own charm. Lost
in time, old architecture and boutique shops. Now in one of my visits, thanks to the excessive
long traffic queue due to the holiday period, we ended up reaching berry, just
in time for the restaurant we wanted to eat at closed. Nonetheless, we wander
around and I come across this small little door with the name Mezzadellas. Look
at the menu and its all about wood fired pizza’s. Well there is an instant
interest and I walk down a small narrow passage to open up into a wide restaurant.
It’s a nice little spot, a bit of rustic setting, and beautiful
outside seating in the garden as well. the
décor is casual, with natural wooden textured tables on an iron frames and
funky colorful plastic designer chairs. Plain white interiors ads to the charm
and big window frames overlooking the garden seating.
Look into the menu and this in interesting. They do pizza’s –
wood fired, the regular appetizers such as garlic breads, salads. But what
makes it interesting is that they also do tapas.
I order the chicken skewers on the tapas. Its description
reads, its marinated with coriander, cumin, white wine and oregano. This one is
served on skewers along with some fat yellow rice, more like risotto rice, but
not sticky and gooey as risotto. The chicken is a little bit charred and its
really good. Really juicy, very delicious and flavoursome. The spice mix is
incredible. When you have the rice, just by itself, it is a bit bland, but then
you have it with the chicken. Its great. So, I loved it, and would love to have
it again.
Next came the pizza’s. being a chicken lover, there were
about just two options. Interestingly, there quite a few vegetarian options-
which is quite a delight. I ordered the pizza called Taipan. This one has satay
marinated chicken, along with onions, capsicums. The pizza when it came, was
awesome. It looked bright and pretty with amazing red colours of the red capsicum,
the green fresh coriander. There is sprinkled sesame seeds, cashew nuts. A very
thin crust pizza, and tastes yum. Its got this hint of sweetness, I believe due
to the pineapple chutney. Thin slices, and fresh. That’s the word. Fresh. When I
ahd this pizza, it instantly reminded me of the pizza’s I had as a kid at home.
Simple, fresh ingredients- a bit sweet, with fresh cheese. I liked the pizza
here. I liked the pizza. Overall, I have had pizza’s at a number of places, and
I will say I really liked the ingredients, the freshness – it’s a bit
different.
One large pizza served the three of us, although we were all
mildly hungry as we had eaten some doughnuts before. But if you are wildly hungry,
I’d say a large pizza would go for two people.
Will I visit again- most likely yes.
