The Quinto Quarto menu featured all types of offal (innards and organs of an animal) which I am no stranger to. Honestly I think this menu barely scratched the surface of what this chef is really capable of, but I’m glad I had at least a taste of what it could be.
Pizza
Pizzeria Barbarella is the newest pizzeria to hit Vancouver, but it’s not the newest to hit the Metro Vancouver pizza scene. The owner is actually the previous owner of Ah-Beetz Pizza which was located in Abbotsford. It was once the only place to get authentic New York/Neapolitan pizza.
With 90%+ on Urbanspoon and 80+ votes I was hoping I would find a hidden gem and neighbourhood favourite. I like to think they tried, but the menu was way too big and there were a lot of shoutcuts.
Forget the San Marzano tomatoes, fior di latte, and basil imported from Italy etc, Pizzeria Farina is gourmet, but not that gourmet. It’s a great choice for non-pretentious (maybe not as authentic) Neapolitan style pizza with reasonable prices in a casual setting.
Really? The “Best on the Planet?” Bold statement. If you’re going for the experience, then yes you should try it, since it was licensed by the City of New York as “America’s First Pizzeria”. It has history, but otherwise there is better NY pizza than this.
