OLiO


OLiO - 3 Greenwich Ave @ West 8th Street

Last week when I first read about OLiO on gothamist.com I was struck by the ginormous, mirrored, disco-ball-like pizza oven hulking in the corner.

Apparently the thing heats up to like a thousand degrees or something, and they only cook the pizzas for 30-45 mother-effing SECONDS.... to achieve this weird crispy/yet doughy paradox that also allows the toppings to remain totally frosh.

Hallsey (@hallcarlo) and I went to check it out for ourselves on Saturday night, and here are the bullet points:

- Cocktail Menu: light summery drinks, all designed for ladies. I had the Aperol Spritzer (Proseco, Aperol, Soda) that was a nice starter, but gimme a better Vodka selection, por favor.

- Table Decor: ditch the pointless Manora-looking candle holders and make a little more room for my plate, thanks.

- Dinner Menu: please re-print in a legible format.... 8 point font is hard to read in the near-dark.

- The Amalfitana Pizza was delish with fresh arugula and lemon slices.

 

RATING: 2-1/2 sillybandz
