Little Italy
All Day Pizza and Beer in the Marina
You know what you're eating tomorrow.
So the real question is what you'll have once the relatives are gone, and the leftovers are no longer left
over.
Allow us to suggest some old friends: pizza and beer.
At your service:
Delarosa, the latest outpost from the cocktail and pie slingers at Beretta,
opening Saturday in the Marina.
Basically, it's the same as Beretta, only different. You'll walk in expecting a rustic, dark and woodsy
cocktail den, but instead you'll find a slick, orange-and-gray cocktail den that looks like a Vespa
showroom—with a wood-stone pizza oven tucked in the back. Classics like the
Mixed Mushroom
pizza are still on the menu, but you'll also find originals like the
Fennel Sausage and Smoked
Mozzarella Pie along with other Italian specialties like
Pork and Pancetta Spiedini. (Embrace
the new.)
And, of course, they'll still be serving up carefully crafted cocktails like the Agricole rum-based
Presidente but there's also an eclectic selection of brews on draft—from the Flemish red ale
Duchesse de Bourgogne and a dark German lager like Köstritzer Schwarzbier to some domestics.
Those are easier to pronounce.
