The new hot spot in town

For my bff's birthday I decided to take him to Zero Zero in SOMA...a new hot spot in town that I've been hearing about so much about lately.  NOTE: Due to the popularity, be sure to make ressies well in advance otherwise the wait is impossible.  A great place for family style sharing...known for pizzas and many Italian small plates.

Tomato Braised Chickpea, Rosemary, Burrata Bruschetta - Definitely for sharing especially if you want to try all the other goodies on the menu.  Both bruschettas were so good...great choice of toppings on top of a thick, soft in the middle but with a crunchy crust french bread.


 Chanterelle Mushrooms, Ricotta, Prosciutto Bruschetta - Just like the bruschetta above, SO good...a must order!


Fried Brussel Sprouts, Pickled Burdock, Pear, Pancetta - A bit over fried and a bit salty...so a no go.


Skillet Fried Chicken Thighs, Chili Sauce, Caraway Yogurt - Super moist on the inside but super crunchy on the outside...a great fried chicken!


The Castro Pizza - Sopressata, House Made Sausage, Tomato Sauce, Mozzarella, Basil - Pizzas are what they are known for here but I must say it wasn't my favorite.  Very similar to Delfina's pizza with a soft chewy crust...texture very similar to Indian naan bread.  I love naan bread but just not as my pizza crust.  And I'm not a fan of the burnt bubbles that leave a burnt taste on my tongue.  Also, the toppings were a bit salty.


Very cute dessert menu - simple and everyone's favorite...Soft Serve Ice Cream!  A bit pricey for dessert if you want the full kaboom but do note that it's big enough for 2 to 3 to share!


After pigging out on so many items between the two of us we decided to pass on the base and just got vanilla soft serve with pumpkin seed brittle and a side of hot fudge.  It was SO delish!  So definitely save some room in your tummy for dessert here!
