I started working in restaurants in various front of the house positions at age 15. I know I should be at home cooking, but I love dining out. While this helped me grow out of a fast food phase, I still eat out quite a bit. Some of my most memorable favorite meals include Veal Bolognese in Rome, Gyros in Athens, Paella in Lisbon and Duck L’Orange in Paris. My Mom started taking me on trips to Europe when I was a teenager and that’s when my palate for finer foods began to develop. I was very picky about what I ate and refused to try new foods. I was born and raised in the suburbs of Sacramento, California. If you stop by, please comment on this post and let me know what you thought! Special thanks to PressPlayLA for coordinating the pizza making party. Whether you’re having a family pizza night in or a pasta picnic in the park, Piccini has you and the kiddos covered. I love any pasta dishes with pink sauce and a tender beef, so this totally hit the spot. I also took home the Fettuccini Brasado, fettuccini pasta with a 6 hour braised beef and crimini mushrooms in a pink sauce. My take-away order came with a coloring pack and crayons too, so if you are ordering for the family, make sure to request that. I love that it was a little lighter on the black pepper, this way Marie could enjoy a bite. Piccini is set up for take-away and deliveries, so Marie and I went to a nearby playground and split some bites of the Zucchini Cacio e Pepe, spaghetti with roasted zucchini, a parm sauce and black pepper. For those of you who love to dip your pizza crust in marinara, salad dressings or melted butter, this pizza is a must-taste for you. Thinner pizzas seem to rule the Culver City area where I live and I realized how much I missed a doughier but still crisp slice. Vince also owns Gaetano’s Restaurant, a local Italian restaurant in Torrance, since 1993 with his family, so he brought a solid knowledge of ingredient sourcing to Piccini.Īll the toppings were fresh and full of flavor, but having a thick crust was refreshing. Although I feel she should’ve added a little marinara (I feel bad criticizing a tiny chef but…) I am impressed with the sit-down restaurant quality of the pizza. A post shared by G I R L S O N F O O D made her pizza with no sauce, lots of cheese, red bell peppers, mushrooms and pepperoni.
