Eating in Canberra: Trecento Woodfired Pizzeria & Bar

A few weeks ago my friends and I tried a relatively new pizza place which opened in June 2017 called Trecento Woodfired Pizzeria & Bar in Manuka, Canberra. The place is small and cozy and the ambience is good. The service was friendly and efficient. We ordered 2 pizzas and a calamari plate to share. The photo above is diavola - san marzano tomato, parmesan, fior di latte, cacciatore (hot salami) + basil. The pizza was tasty but I still think D.O.C. Pizza in Melbourne is better.

This starter was nice but the calamari was a bit salty for my taste. The rocket salad on the side was fresh and delicious.

According to co-owner Jon Kosteski, who went to Naples to learn the art of making pizza, "The pizza is based on a 300-year-old recipe. It's governed by the AVPN who are in Napoli, and pretty much [they have strict guidelines] on everything down to exact ingredients, the equipment you use, the temperature of the oven, the method, the cooking time, all that sort of thing" source

The mushrooms were full of flavour and the white sauce as the base was a good contrast to the tomato base ones I usually have.

All in all a good experience with nice conversation.
