You are different! And I mean it in the very best sense of a word. Till now you have been living different life style,you were surrounded by different tastes,smells and colors. Only a person who lived or was born in Brasil,Russia,Slovakia or Italy can tell you whether a certain dish is authentic or if in that restaurant you can feel like in one of the exotic countries.
This week: where to go for a good authentic pizza (Alex's rating):
1. Di Meo's http://www.pizzeriadimeos.com: I would rate this pizza as the best I've had till now. You can see the Neapolitan tradition of Di Meo's family reflected in the authentic wood-fired made pizzas. The atmosphere reminded me a traditional Italian pizzeria with all its simplicity and of course, an open-style kitchen with a brick oven. This place is not in the center Philadelphia and it's BYOB.
2. Nomad http://www.nomadpizzaco.com: another very good pizzeria, good wine selection. The minus is a few seats and the fact it closes at 9 on Sundays (the best day for having a pizza with friends).
3. Stella http://www.pizzeriastella.net: nice and spacious with a wood-fired oven you can admire while enjoying your pizza. They have some not Italian combinations of ingredients, although very good (try a pistacchio pizza!). You can also have a bottle of Italian beer and good coffee at the end. Perfect when you are in a big company, you can have a large table here.
4. Zavino http://www.zavino.com: pizza with meatball is the best. The place is very small and it's not suitable for big groups of people, what's even worse, you can't even make a reservation. It's worth trying it and even wait some time because the pizza is very delicious. They also have a nice selection of cheese and hams and various kinds of pasta.
