Ristorante Italiano La Bruschetta
Ristorante Italiano La Bruschetta Review
This casually chic spot within earshot of the surf serves savory bruschetta and 16 varieties of crispy, thin-crusted pizza, all made with flair by Rosella, a glamorous native of Naples who everyone calls Lella. Her four-seasons pizza is a triumph, with thin, spicy pepperoni, flavorful ham, olives, eggplant, peppers, onion, and zucchini. Save room for the knockout gnocchi, pillow-soft dumplings made with potatoes and cheese and bathed in olive oil and rosemary. Other choices include tortelloni in cream sauce and filet mignon. Tiramisú and key-lime pie do dessert duty. Japanese lanterns add a romantic touch to the wooden tables and chairs, which are painted in sherbet colors and placed in intimate nooks. To find the place, look for the La Piña sign.
