My take:

My main reason for visiting was to try some pizzas that Chef Marco had on his menu, he recently returned from visiting his family in Italy. He is a great pizza chef and it’s great to see him back at The Bibo. Chef Danilo is now running the kitchen, I loved his Zucchini presentation to begin. Three out of the four pizzas we had were on the menu and all were good, the Margarita Formula One was a stellar favourite by Felix and I. The fourth pizza was one that I created featuring scamorza cheese which is a smoked cheese originating in Naples, the combination of this cheese along with the porcini mushrooms, and radicchio was outstanding. The dessert platter that Chef Danilo prepared encompassed 4 of their delicious desserts.
