Visiting La Quercia Vecchia is akin to visiting an old friend. From the moment you walk in, you are welcomed by the owner Guissepe and treated to a meal that you'll be talking about for years. For starters, the antipasti, a meal in itself, is 15 individual dishes of the most delectable taste treats, all made in the brick oven. Then onto the pizza, a specialty of the house, and of course made to order. The wafer-like crust is simply on the plate to hold the toppings of choice. And the size of an individual pizza can feed an army!
Caution...leave room for the most innovative desserts you'll ever see. Homemade gelati made with seasonal fruits and nuts, served in their own shell or skin. My all-time favorites, having been there during all the seasons, has been the mango, chestnut and apricot. It's amazing how these little powerpacks of dolci put a sweet finish to a fine meal.
