I feel like a proud parent right now! We just got off the phone with the folks from Zagat Reviews, informing us of our “excellent” review for 2010. We are really looking forward to another year great dining experiences. What’s to come in 2010? With the opening of our new location (exact date to be announced) we will be offering more great menu items for our fans in Victoria, including a great space for private functions. At Cook Street, we have recently rolled out a new dynamic feature wine selection that showcases the best sipping values from BC and Italy. Our sommelier Gela, who recently completed her level 3 ISG, has been working tirelessly to search for new, award winning wines. Stay tuned for Gela’s wine blog in the coming months for extra insight into the stories behind our delicious pours. We are proud to offer these wines by the glass and half litre. JP and his crew are expanding the salumi production and will soon have a nightly selection of imported and house cured meats to sample. Have you had the gnocchi? Alex frequently prepares gnocchi for nightly features, served with classic brown butter and fried sage. In the daytime, the panini are becoming very popular. Using the same amazing dough as our pizze, we hand craft the “panino” stuffed with mouthwatering ingredients such as roasted pork, provolone and house sauerkraut, or eggplant parmigiana to name a few. Served daily during lunch hour and perfect for take out! Tasty things are always happening at Pizzeria Prima Strada. We hope that you are excited as we are! All the best to you this holiday season.
