Mediterranean Gourmet Pizza8/1 Trafalgar Pl
Marsfield, Sydney
We felt like having pasta and pizza and being the day before Australia Day we were fortunate to find a restaurant open on a Monday, as a lot of restaurants are closed on Monday's.
The menu at Mediterranean Gourmet Pizza is extensive and we were spoilt for choice. They are licenced but are also BYO, so we bought with us a nice Cabernet Merlot.
So many choices but as an entree we decided on an old favourite - tempura zucchini flowers. These were filled with spinach and ricotta. OMG they really were lovely. Lightly crisped with an oh so delicate soft and fluffy filling. They arrived sitting on a bed of rocket garnish and drizzled in spirals of balsamic glaze - a perfect match for tempura zucchini flowers. There were three and Mlady made Sir cut the third one in half!
After much deliberation Mlady chose the home made lasagne with salad. This was an impressive dish.
A generous serving of this wonderful pasta was accompanied with a large lettuce leaf in which sat another impressively generous serving of green salad - vibrant tomato which just enhanced the greens, Spanish onion and was dressed lightly with olive oil. This salad went so well with the lasagne.
The mince meat was finely minced and the pasta was nice and tender. The cheese (think it was shaved Parmesan) topped it off nicely.
Sir ordered a pizza - Sicily. This was described on the menu as - Seafood pizza with the lot, prawns scallops, baby octopus, smoked salmon, shallots, feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, mint and garlic.True to it's description this pizza had a "Wow" factor. It really was full of all those wonderful goodies! Plump juicy prawns and what with everything else this pizza really was impressive.
This pizza would certainly serve 2 people. Sir thought it was a "smorgasbord of seafood" on a pizza.
We had to rest as we both wanted dessert. Sir had the Tiramisu. Mlady just had to have some as well. This was a great Tiramisu! It was ever so light and we both loved it's wonderful soft texture and yummy flavour.Mlady chose gelato. Vanilla and chocolate flavour. After her wonderful meal this dessert finished the meal nicely.
Mediterranean Gourmet pizza is predominately Italian and Greek dishes on the menu. It is casual and is situated in a square type environment surrounded by the usual array of shops and other restaurants. What you will remember about this restaurant is the that food here is really good!
