CORTINA: 960 MAIN STREET, BRIDGEPORT
Tomatillo, we hardly knew ye.
A few short months after Moe Gad opened this new Tomatillo location, he decided to switch up the cuisine from burritos to pizza.
Moe told me this had a lot to do with the fact that, by his estimation, 90 percent of folks in Bridgeport will eat pizza, while only half will eat a burrito.
The new Cortina, an offshoot of the restaurant formerly known as Pizzeria Rosso in Norwalk, offers a broad menu of Italian dishes ordered at the counter including both New York style and Napoletana pizza.
For lunch, I tried the NY style cheese pizza. A slice during a lunch break will hit the spot, but don’t expect an exquisite dining experience.
I’ll have to head back to try the Margherita.
Aluminum Pizza Peels and paddles that are great for professional or personal use and come with a lifetime guarantee Pizza Peels made for professional use with high grade aluminum and no rivets to ensure a lifetime guarantee.
Judging by the pic, the pizza looks pretty good. We’ll have to try this joint when I’m back in Bridgeport, unless of course, I’m one of the 50% who feels like a burrito that day : )
I believe we need to give full credit where credit is due for the food at the two Cortina locations. Pat Pascarella is also one of the owners and the chef at the two Cortina restaurants (one in Norwalk and the new location in Bridgeport)and and it is he that brings the culinary creativity to both kitchens. I do agree with the writer’s assessment of the pizza. The dough that Pascarella has developed and the toppings that he offers are fantastic.
One of my favorite places for pizza and pasta in the area.
Try “The Damien”….out of this world!!!
I hope his pizza is better than his burgers that suck and are way overpriced.
