Got lunch?

Ever wonder where to go to lunch when you're in Newport? Look no further than Pasta Beach, right next door to the Lila Delman office on Memorial Blvd. They have the best pizza this side of Rome - in fact, it might even be better!

When I went to Rome two years ago, I stayed in the "Centro Storico"(literally means the historic center), just two doors away from Bafetto's, arguably the most celebrated pizzeria in the city. Since my companion and I had a thirteen-year old in tow, we ate there virtually every night.


What makes for great Roman pizza? A super hot grill, a super thin crust and of course, the freshest of ultra-fresh ingredients. Last week I tried Pasta Beach's proscuitto and arugula pizza, and it actually surpassed anything I can remember tasting across the Atlantic. It was so thin I could practically see through it, and the chef had lightly drizzled it with just a little tomato sauce, some fresh mozzarella, a couple of handfuls of arugula tossed with extra virgin olive oil and aged balsamic vinegar, and then he'd layered every inch of the thing with the thinnest slices of proscuitto di parma imaginable...YUM!!!









So next time you find yourself at the Newport Lila Delman's, shopping for the house of your dreams, be sure to stop in at Pasta Beach. You won't be disappointed!
