[REVIEW'D] Da Nonna Rosa

Ok, so true confessions: Da Nonna Rosa *does* kinda remind me of Mama Rosa, and as we all know, that's not a good thing. However, they managed to win me over with one thing and one thing only: A RAVIOLI SLICE WITH VODKA SAUCE.

Boom. That's it.

That is literally the only piece of information you need about this new pizza joint on 7th Ave (in the old Elementi space).

Did I love the plain slice? No.

I didn't dislike it either...I just wouldn't walk past Roma (which is a block away) in order to get one. The pizza does not feel like classic NY style to me...it's a bit too thick and the crust just feels a smidge too crunchy. In fact Da Nonna Rosa kind of seems like its a pizza place in NJ rather than Brooklyn. However, they *do* have lots of weird, "fancy" slices, and sometimes you just get into a fancypants mood (Here's Park Slope mentions they even have a chicken caesar salad slice, which I totally  missed).

Also, they have seating...and the space is pretty nice. So if you're feeling like pizza and you wanna sit down and enjoy yourself (they also have a full-ish menu), it might be a good choice. It kind of reminded me of Pizza Plus, except that I think Pizza Plus pizza is DISGUSTING. But you know: that same vibe.

OH, and also they have gelato! And it looked delish, but I was fucking freezing, so I didn't buy any.

I'm sure there will always be a bazillion kids there, so I'll likely only swing by for take-out. But yeah: that ravioli slice with vodka sauce (pictured above) was the bomb diggity bomb bomb. And everyone there was super duper nice.

Anyone else been?
