We had a fantastic meal at Calicanto last night! Everything we ordered was delicious, and for only four people we ate a lot! We started off with vegetarian arancini. The outside was crispy and the risotto on the inside was creamy with some tender veggies. Then as another appetizer we ordered two pizzas; the classic capresa and the house special pizza Calicanto. The capresa pizza had a great crust and sauce, the tomatoes were sweet and the pesto had good flavor. I prefer whole fresh basil leaves on capresa pizzas, but this was very good. The Calicanto pizza was more like a burrata salad with pull apart stuffed pizza portions… Very difficult to describe, but fantastic. Order this to share for at least two people. Calicanto offered filete de corvina in many different preparations. I ordered the corvina al ajillo with a side of spaghetti al pesto. My wife had a bowl of gnocchi with a creamy mushroom sauce. All was delicious! The service was excellent. The server also warned us that we may be ordering too much food! She was correct… we brought home an entire dish that we didn’t even touch. This place is not big, so definitely make a reservation. It is also a quite casual restaurant, which is quite comfortable and relaxed. I look forward to going back.
