Since Burger Boy is on a hiatus due to an heavy AP Class course load I thought I’d fill in the gap this week with a quick mini review about Novo Cucina’s new brunch. My family stopped by after church last Sunday to check it out.
First let me say I love everything about the decor of this restaurant and you can’t beat the drive from DUMC. We actually should have WALKED!
It w
as too early for the “real thing” so my hubby ordered a virgin Bloody Mary that was so pretty I had to snap a picture! He said it was interestingly lemony but delicious!
My boys ordered off the regular menu because they are big fans of the Sorrentina and Pepperoni pizzas. Kirk is a huge Eggs Benedict fan so of course he ordered the Benedict pizza. I’m obviously a little weird because I basically ordered “mushroom pizza hold the mushrooms but add prosciutto”. The name of my pizza on the menu is “Funghi e Spinaci” but they were very accommodating for my special request. These days I sort of feel like Sally in When Harry Met Sally when she’s ordering her food.
It’s not really that bad but making sure your food is REALLY gluten free is kind of pain. Let me just say Novo makes the best gluten free pizza crust I’ve had so far. Apparently Ricardo (the chef/owner) brought the rice flour back from Italy on his last visit there. Thank you Ricardo!
