La Cantina Experience

After being convinced by my sister, I decided to take a trip to La Cantina Pizzeria (located in Crown Point, Tobago). I had really set the bar low because she brought slices of their pizza home, and trust me it was not an enjoyable experience eating  microwave warmed up pizza. I had been warped by the americanized concept of pizza: thick dough, lots of tomato sauce, cheese and random toppings; so seeing this flat almost "sada" roti type dough with toppings and not much sauce had me turned off. However I must sister's "gnat-like" nagging worked and La Cantina was not at all displeasing. Displeasing isn't even the word, it was AMAZING!!!

The service was prompt, courteous!! And so accommodating!! I went with an entourage (my family, I wasn't going to spend a lot of my money and experiment alone). I was impressed by the indoor decor: the dining room in that they have for  "large" groups reminded me a bit of scenes from "The Godfather". Anyway being an *ahem* occasional lover *cough cough* of various beverages containing alcohol I was very much enthused by the array set before me, however in the presence of my mother I ordered a simple glass of Fruit Punch(she doesn't like her daughters drinking). I sampled some from other people on the table and I will give the bartender his props, the man can mix his drinks perfectly!! Clearly he wasn't a random hire and didn't just throw things together, he knows how to blend his concoctions in proper proportions, he knows the science of his brews!!! 

I expected a long wait for my sada pizza experience and yet again the staff at La Cantina decided to pleasantly surprise me, with our 3 orders  of different pizzas in 15 minutes all done in the Forno A Legna or as we say: dirt oven. The pizza isn't presliced so it's a hot cheesy situation to get your slices but it's worth it. Be it vegetarian or others (we ordered from each "genre" except seafood*) I will give the Chef 2 thumbs up! Since there was nothing left to take away after we were done. 

The only complaint I would have about La Cantina is the space, it's a bit too cosy for claustrophobic individuals such as myself, but with the right crowd, a few drinks and great food you'd absolutely have a great time!!
