| view from inside Ragazza |
Gialina's sister restaurant located in the NoPa area of San Francisco. I haven't been to Gialina (yet), but I am aware of their cult following so I was eager to taste their pizza when Ragazza opened up in a more accessible part of the city.

| antipasto platter with prosciutto, cheeses, and olives |
A little disappointed that the only cured meat on the plate was prosciutto. Also, the first time I've seen olive oil on a cured meat platter. Pretty standard antipasto plate -nothing spectacular.

| roasted brussel sprouts |
Roasted brussel sprouts should be soft with a slight crisp from the broiler. These were a bit too mushy and somewhat flavorless.
 |
| Margherita pizza with fresh mozzarella, basil, and tomato |
The standard whenever I try a new pizza place. This one was slightly too thin - the inner part of the pizza was too crispy and hard. I prefer my pizza with a slight crisp and softness to it - think Delfina, Pizetta 211, Pizzaiolo (Oakland).

| flourless chocolate cake |
Chocolately and dense, this cake was probably one of the better items I ate during this meal.
 |
| Nutella pizza with mascarpone and amaretti |
Ending the savory portion of the meal feeling totally unsatisfied I opted to get two desserts. The nutella pizza was huge, but delicious. A unique take on a dessert pizza, this "pizza" was tastier than the savory pizza. A yummy dessert, but probably best served as a smaller portion.
