I came here for the first time with my co-workers for Happy Hour on a Tuesday afternoon. First of all, how did I not notice this place before?? I've been to Gringos and Mariachis and Caddies so many times, but never seemed to stop and try out Alatri Bros. Maybe because their restaurant sign was not directly in my face when I had walked by. I would highly recommend everyone try out this place for their Happy Hour deals/menu/drinks. In addition, they have daily specials as well. Fortunately, on Tuesdays, they have the 1 pizza, 1 beer, and 1 shot for $18. Not a bad deal! Being a foodie and instragramer, I just had to order pretty much everything off of the appetizer menu. And having a vegetarian in the group, we decided to primarily order veggie options (aside from the $5 hot wings ;)). I am very happy that we decided to get mostly the vegetable plates, as they were very delicious, flavorful, and beautifully plated/presented. To start, I had an old-fashioned (not on the HH menu). Perfect refreshing drink to start my afternoon. We ordered the battered cauliflower, hot wings, spicy carrots, tomato crostini (bruschetta basically) and whipped feta with flat bread to start. I would say that the vegetable plates were remarkable. The cauliflower was crisp on the outside, soft and full of flavor. Plus it was coupled with a spicy whipped feta dip. The wild carrots, were also deliciously roasted with some quinoa and topped with honey, salsa verde and served with whipped feta on the side as well. Finally, the tomato crostinis were light, crispy, and refreshing. Loved the diced tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, basil and balsamic glaze. No complaints. Simply delicious and beautiful. The hot wings were typical wings. Not bad, nor remarkable. I'm always down to try chicken wings.
The highlight was the Verdura Pizza (veggie option). They did this very well. The thin crusted, wood-fired pizza was topped with fresh mozzarella, eggplant, red peppers, portobello mushrooms, zucchini, red onions, and kalamata olives. Now, that is how a vegetable pizza is constructed to satiate any novices' palate. It tasted wonderful.
I was very pleased with the restaurant. Great service, friendly staff, and patio seating outside that suits a sunny day. I will definitely be back again to try and hit all the meaty options on the menu. Thanks!
