Marta

I really wanted to love Marta, but while it had great potential, it was a bit disappointing.  

We tried a number of starters (nebrodini arrostiti -- mushroom salad with kale; insalata di anguria -- watermelon salad; and polpettine di pollo -- chicken meatballs), which were all pretty good.  

    

For pizza, we tried the stracciatella and the testa (pig head terrine, mozzarella, fontina, arugula, red onion).  The flavor of both pizzas were actually great, and the straciatella had such potential to be amazing...except the pizza was cold.  It would've been one thing for the stracciatella to be cold since the topping was placed after the dough came out of the oven, but the dough was cold.  I'm not sure how long it was sitting there before it was served.  The testa had great flavor overall, and while not cold, it was lukewarm and nowhere near piping hot, fresh from the oven.  Too bad.
