Pizza Rating:
We actually found out aboout adorable little Amorina when it was featured in tables for two in the New Yorker a few weeks ago, and realized that not only did it sound delicious, but it was pretty nearby us, down on Vanderbilt Avenue. We walked there last night for dinner and really enjoyed it. The seating area is fairly small, (it was full the whole time we were there, but there never seemed to be a wait) and the kitchen was even smaller. Despite the take out service and deliveries, the pizzas are gourmet and individual-sized, with lots of traditional Italian ingredients, and more. AJ had the pizza special, with ricotta salata, artichoke hearts and fava beans, and it was absolutely delicious. I had the Norma, with tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, eggplant, cherry tomatoes, ricotta salata, basil and fresh mint. The crust was a little doughy, but all in all I was very happy. Plus, the flowered wall paper and old Italian coke and gelati signs were quite charming.
