The freshest, most elegant, handcrafted, and scrumptious pizza you will ever eat. This petite restaurant is operated by two truly dedicated Italian foodies who have brought their skills and love of food and wine to their simple Sausalito venue. Not your typical pizza place! The wines, Italian and domestic are carefully chosen to pair with the beautifully and creatively prepared pizza offerings. The salads are equally elegant and lovely to behold. We enjoyed a special spinach salad with roasted ham, crispy potato rounds and slices of hard boiled egg. Monika, one of the owners told us it was a favorite from her home region in Italy, the Dolomite mountain area of northeastern Italy. It was simply dressed to perfection with the finest olive oil and vinegar. We enjoyed her freshly made focaccia and breadsticks with fragrant olive oil as we waited for our pizza. The venue is mall, and from where I was sitting, I could see the pizza dough being expertly prepared with fine cornmeal that added the perfect crunch to the crust edges. We ordered the Parmigiana pizza with green and black olives added for an extra kick.The pizza choices are many, and all looked divine as we watched them arrive at other tables. We washed it all down with two glasses of her recommended Syrah red blend wine. It was to die for. Oh, yes, dessert! The homemade tiramisu was beyond divine; sweet moist and absolutely perfect with espresso. The service was genuinely warm and friendly too; a great pairing for the delicious fare. Can’t...
Read moreWe were surprised! My mom and I hiked into Sausalito from a hostel in Marin Headlands. We stopped at a breakfast joint and then spent the day laying in the parks and walking around this tourist trap of a town. Well, I mean part of it is really touristy and part of it is way more casual, so what are ya gonna do. Cool town, honestly, having never been there before. Check out the houseboats! It's like being in a story book. Anyway, we checked out a couple places on the beach front, and they seemed... a little much. Like, one place was clearly taking advantage of its location to upcharge everything, which I get, but I'm also a little poor so I'm not into it. So we went just a single street up from the tourist area and found Sandrino!! Man it was so good. Normal (high-end Midwestern) prices for such good food. We got the Greco pizza and the spinach salad... and let me tell you about this salad. I'm a pizza lover, I would have just as soon ordered us two pizzas as one and a salad, haha (though one pizza was enough for the two of us!) But my mom is a healthy lady so she ordered the spinach salad and I. Couldn't. Get. Enough. It was perfect. Spinach, fresh, candy-sweet cherry tomatoes, lighted salted fresh ricotta (not the gooey stuff you get out of a plastic jar from the grocery) and thick, real bacon. Like, it was so perfect. I wish i could make a salad that good. Also, the pizza was good, haha! I was just so enthralled by that spinach salad. The pizza...
Read morePlace is super highly recommended but I didn’t appreciate the slow service, although I’m used to that in Europe already so it didn’t throw me off as much. I ordered a classic Margherita pizza, but to my surprise it came with dried oregano rather than fresh basil as is typical of the pizza. It’s an unexpected surprise and a first time this has happened. My fault for not reading the description but I also feel the classic recipe should not be changed so drastically. Looks like the Bufalina pizza is closer to what I would have expected but without the buffalo cheese and cherry tomatoes. Would be nice to have that option. Crust was perfectly thin but edges were overcooked and crunchy...
