"Opened earlier this month and located within spitting distance of Las Ramblas, Giorgio Pizza Bar’s casual name undersells a menu that ranges from straightforward pizzas (Margherita, pepperoni, cheese) to glitzy entrees like osso bucco, chicken saltimbocca, crab risotto, and red wine brisket lasagna; there are also inventive pies such as a Brussels sprouts pizza with kale, anchovies, and hazelnut and an overloaded pie topped with soppressata, shrimp, prosciutto, red onion, arugula, and more. Executive chef Jefe Lubiano — who used to run his own pizzeria and trained under Andrea Reusing at the Durham Hotel — brings the confidence behind those ambitious combinations." - Eric Ginsburg
