Today's temperature was 57 degree and everyone was out and about. So I decided that I should be out and about as well and went right on down to the village for a Margherita pizza. The lighting, the center table decorated with several beautiful orchids and the tables are wonderfully spaced gives Avena Downtown a pleasant ambience.
The pizza and all of its ingredients made the mozzarella that is sliced and placed on top, gave it a different and a personal touch. Along with the freshness you can picture the person making the mozzarella which is called pasta filata, stretching and kneading it until smooth, and then form it into round balls after you take your first bite.
What I have noticed in eating Margherita pizza's and talking to the chef or the waiter, they all say that they use top quality tomatoes for the sauce. This sauce had a sweet vibrant taste along with the fresh basil and garlic is a sophisticated version of the regular cheese pizza.
The staff was so pleasant even though the Margherita pizza was not on the menu, the chef made it for me. Can't beat that. I felt so special.
Avena offers a Terrzza Outdoor Cafe.
Will I be back? Of course.
