St. John’s Restaurant Guide | Hits & Misses

🍕 St. John’s Restaurant Guide | Hits & Misses 📍 Piatto Pizzeria + Enoteca (Downtown) 🌟 Rating: 5/5 🍕 Why It’s a Must-Visit: • Wood-Fired Pizza: Cooked in a 900°F oven for perfect char • Sauce: House-made San Marzano tomato base (bright & tangy) • Price: 16-22 for a 12-inch pie (feeds 2 easily) • Pro Tip: Try the Truffle Honey Pizza (off-menu, ask for it!) 😢 Missed Opportunity: Pasta dishes only available after 5 PM – next time! 🍖 Sinaing (Filipino Cuisine) 🌟 Rating: 4/5 🇵🇭 Standout Dishes: • Crispy Pata : Deep-fried pork knuckle – crackling skin + tender meat • "Adidas" Chicken Feet : Braised in soy-garlic glaze (funny name, serious flavor) • Garlic Rice: Toasted garlic bits – the perfect pairing ⚠️ Downsides: • Chicken Skewers: Overcooked & dry (skip these) • Portion Size: Huge – great for sharing! Fun Fact: "Adidas" = Filipino slang for chicken feet (they look like the shoe logo 👟😂) 🦪 Adelaide Oyster House (Avoid!) 🌟 Rating: 1/5 🚨 Why It’s a Disaster: • Taco Fiasco: Waited 1.5 hours – then told they "forgot" to start cooking • Kitchen Chaos: Too many staff standing around, no organization • Forced 18% Tip: No option to adjust – shady practice 💀 Final Verdict: Never again. Fresh oysters were the only decent thing. 📊 Quick Comparison Restaurant Best Dish Worst Part Worth It?
