These Authentic Italian Pizzas In This New Downtown Spot Cannot Be Topped
EVERYONE has tried Italian food, but have you really eaten Italian food if it wasn’t so good that you licked the plate clean, slammed your napkin down on the red chequered table cloth and begged for more?!
I think not… Until now! There’s a new trattoria in Downtown, a homegrown spot with a homely feel that’s ALL about bringing you genuine Italian cooking and the true taste of Italy that’s plate licking good!
Trattorias are more casual than traditional restaurants with rustic neighbourhood resto vibes and they famously serve up fresh, traditional food.

4. It wouldn’t be Italia without pizza and if this video doesn’t make you want to eat fresh pizza and pasta, we cannot be friends!
Smugly respond ‘prego’ (you’re welcome) after you introduce your friends to Scarpetta and they start throwing the praise your way.
Pizzas come piping hot from the wood-fire oven and I promise you, these bad boys are lip-smacking wipe-the-plate-clean good.
