For the past twenty years I've been fortunate to visit K-town at least once a year, and I always try to enjoy a dinner at Pizzeria Firenze. Its the best. Unfortunately this year they were closed for holidays and La Piazza was recommended by a colleague. The location is nice, on a quiet pedestrian alley off the Schillerplatz; and the white clothe covered tables certainly gives it an upscale feel. The menu has traditional Italian dishes, salads, and pizzas. For starters I asked for a glass of Barbera and the young waiter told me they were out, so I asked for his recommendation and he replied "I don't drink wine so I can't help you." In my opinion a waiter should know something about their wines and if they don't they should know how to fake it. Maybe I pissed him off with my remark but when he brought my bottled water to the table and did not open it. Next I ordered the Insalata Italiano which should be served with a very mild dressing so you can taste the ingredients. This salad arrived swimming in balsamic vinegar that completely drowned everything on the plate. For my pizza I ordered the capers, olives, and anchovies - which should be sparingly added - just enough to give you a faint taste. My pizza arrived with many large anchovy slices that dominated every bite. Sadly I was not able to enjoy my salad or pizza. La Piazza is a restaurant that serves Italian food, it is not an Italian restaurant. read more
