a nice lunch at Politica!

Today I had a chance to catch up with a dear friend over lunch. We chose to goto a place that is seems to be off the beaten track with a really cool atmosphere called Politica. It's in an area that i would describe as up and coming as more and more restaurants and bars are being established around there however it's near a gas station and this 'eclectic' hotel that rents rooms by the hour.. hmmm!

Anyway it's a simple italian restaurant with Salads, Pizzas, Pastas and mains... they had this mango chicken salad that looked delicious on the menu. We opted to share the portobello salad, it was alright but it wasn't the Terroni's salad that we adored and had the Bianca pizza. This is a white pizza with prochutto, argula, pear and brie on it. The pizza was yummy and filling.

This is a really cozy place to go on a date or if you want to have an intimate gathering. There's a really cute patio that would seem perfect for drinks in the summer and people watching or spying on patrons of the so-called 'eclectic' hotel.
