Tonight was one of the best restaurant experiences of my life. I'm ashamed to say I've never been to Piatto before. It's a pizzeria and wine bar - but I just can't justify spending gourmet prices on pizza for the same reason that, as I start to feel full, I subconsciously eat the most expensive things on my plate first.
Turns out... Piatto is cheaper than delivery. And fucking AMAZING.
It's VPN certified. I didn't bother to Google it but apparently it's one of the few places in Canada that has that certification. I assumed it was just something anyone can send their $5 registration fee to and display in their restaurant, but it's - apparently - not. It's serious business. It's authentic, Neapolitan pizza.
And if you live in Halifax, Moncton, or Charlottetown - they've now opened locations there as well.
EDIT: Googled it. Here are all the VPN-certified restaurants in Canada. If one is near you, check it out! Well worth it. The taste of the tomatoes was heavenly.
I'll be back here frequently. Amazing, amazing place. And it's right next door to the separatist bar (which I've been to... oh, more than once,
).
Ayreonaut had a salad to start and shared with us.
And then we split four pizzas - Margherita, Americana, Siciliana, and Diavolo.
And it's a great example of how steep St. John's is. You saw how it looks from the front on Duckworth in the first pic. Here's the view out the back...
And back at the entrance with the heaters turned on. HALIGONIANS: Does 431 mean anything to ye?
They advertise the St. John's location with an Italian license plate that says 368YYT. Now, YYT is our airport code, of course. 368 does exist here as the first three numbers of landlines in a part of the West End... but surely that can't be what the numbers mean? If 431 is something obvious in Halifax, maybe that'll make ours obvious too?
