Gino Sorbillo Gourmand Montevideo

🎺 🎺 🎺 Pizza review #29. ( I started 34 days ago in Naples) Gino Sorbillo Gourmand Montevideo. The Trumpets are sounding and a Prince has been born!!! Hooray Hooray!!!!! As many remember this place is truly legendary from there orginal spot in Naples. The Mecca for many pizza fans founded in 1935. Although my last one in Naples(not the original) got a solid 8.8 this location was something special. This particular location is not in a tourist area and seemed somewhat new. All locals having lunch. We ended up here by accident as our orginal plans got sidetracked. With some quick thinking we saw there was a Gino's nearby. Always good advice in Italy to have back-up plans as restaurants, stores, churches can suddenly change hours or just close. Before I get to the Prince of pizzas I wanted to recognize two gentlemen who made this experience something. I happened to be seated with a direct sideview of the pizza finisher and runner. This gentlemen white gloves and all sole job is to do finishing touches on the pizza like cheese grating and EVOO drizzle and deliver to each customer. The video's show his professionalism and true passion for his job. I also included a picture of the pizzaiolo which well...... The pizza. The pizza.... this glorious pizza. It was simply a Margarita, but the crust was dusted with grated ricotta cheese. And yes its possible to shave ricotta, but only ricotta salata, a firm, salted, and aged variety. It added so much to the overall experience. Imagine a potato chip without salt, A hot dog without mustard, a hamburger without ketchup. This is the thing I've been missing my whole life and didn't know it. This crust although a bit more chew than most is truly a pleasure to eat. Think of the freshest of salt water taffy of your life. That great chew with some sweetness and the right amount of salt. The sauce was eat out off a bowl good. I cant find fault. The fior di latte cheese and buffalo mozzarella combo. Genius!! And lastly the pizzaiolo on this was simply sublime. We were there later in the lunch hour so this may have been his last pizza of his shift as when we finished the place was empty because they close at 3 before opening back up for dinner at 7. When something cooks in a 900 degree wood burning over in less than 2 minutes this is the ultimate skill. And this was the best cooked pizza of my life. 9.5 for the Prince of pizza in Italy!!!!! 🤴 👑

We live in the neighborhood and we come here at least once a week. It never lets us down. The pizza is always TOP. And the staff is always so nice. And friendly. And in a great mood. Very consistent service and we always feel so good when are here.

Took quite a while after being seated to be served, even just to get our drinks started. But our food did come quick after we ordered. Had a number of pizzas that all were great. The Neapolitan style was appreciated of course, with the crispy crust, light sauce, fresh ingredients and classic combinations. The pasta was al dente with the right amount of sauce, that wasn’t overly rich or under seasoned. Was impressed of course with the tiramisu. They really do provide a quality meal with incredibly reasonable prices! Hats off to you as this is rare these days.

Gino Sorbillo located in Via Montevideo in Milan offers a brilliant concept of pizza, with creative flavors that truly intrigue the palate. The staff is polite and welcoming, making you feel immediately at ease. However, the dining experience has its flaws. The pizza, while flavorful and unique, arrived disappointingly cold, which took away from its potential greatness. The interior space is quite cramped, with tables so close together that you feel like you’re sharing a meal with strangers. It’s a lively atmosphere, but it lacks the serenity needed to fully savor what could be an extraordinary pizza. A touch more attention to detail could elevate this spot to something truly special. Furthermore Nutella cheesecake was so interesting. Unfortunately the quantity of Nutella in the dessert was so much that it was cloying.

This was a very good pizza, with a delicious sauce and baked to the perfect consistency. They added aubergines to my marinara without a fuss. Friendly staff and fast service. Would recommend when in the neighbourhood.

I ate here on two separate occasions (around Christmas Eve 2021 as my first meal in Italy, and a week later as my last meal in Italy, how poetic). I honestly believe that to this day, this is the place where I ate the best pizza of my entire 21 years of life. And it was one I usually hate (Buffala). I also remember their lasagna fondly (it was small but very tasty), as well as their funny Nocciolato thing (which I miss dearly and hope to eat again someday). The staff was pretty nice and the ambience was calming. This might have been the best restaurant experience of my life.

Pizza and service was good. We managed to book at the last minute for the 30th of December.

Visited in November '22. Very busy but was seated right away. Staff was attentive, food was great. A little pricey but definitely worth it
