Tonight, I enjoyed a lovely meal and dining experience at Il Pizzico that made other places taste mediocre or lowly. At the beginning, I had warm bread and attracting tapenade await me in a perfect manner. The tapenade was good, and it had a spicy flavor to it that I liked. Next, the waiter told us the specials, and my mother immediately wanted the fennel salad (I was willing to give it a try too) and when it came, we were at the point where we were getting a bit hungry. I think that if your kid likes celery, this will be great for them. It was refreshing and a good type of salad for summer if that is what you like. We slowly ate, but when we finally finished, we recieved our pastas next to us in three seconds at a warm state. I ate the Gnocci Alla Gorgonzola Tartufata, which was drizzled with white truffle oil, and created a mixture of being nutty, slightly mild and creamy. It was positively delicious with its unique tastes. After our dishes were cleared, my mother and I decided on a chocolate hazelnut gelato, a rich and decadent desert I knew I couldn't find at the store no matter how hard I looked. I give Il Pizzico four and a half stars!
Enjoy your next bites,
The Tiny Tastebud

WOW! Four and one half stars. Sounds like a place I would want to try. I love reading your reviews and the way you discribe the food makes my mouth water. I love reading from the perspective a young foodie. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking about the Gnocci ala Gorgonzolla
ReplyDeleteTartufata ever since I read your review and trying hard not to crave the chocolate hazelnut gelato, second best to Jamoca Almond Fudge.

ReplyDeletei came here after my friend ---- told me it's great. it is really good food! sorry i didnt know you already did. by the way my grandpa went nuts and for some reason started making frog noises when we went there. ???

A truly hidden gem of Rockville. Il Pizzico and Mamma Lucias have the best Italian food in the area by far, IMHO. I love finding these places that are fabulous, but look curiously generic and unappealing on the outside. Il Pizzico is located in a tiny strip mall building that is all too easy to drive by and ignore--or skip over completely based on the exterior. A friendly foodie tip: DON'T! :)
ReplyDeleteHmm, now I'm craving pasta...
I agree totally with what you think(including a craving for pasta- mmmm)!
