Yesterday for dinner I went out to CAMPO de FIORI. The restaurant is a new Italian pizza place in Park Slope. We wanted to try it out because my mom and sister went to Rome this summer and they wanted to compare real Italian pizza with the American kind. The restaurant was decorated with imported artwork from Rome and great lamps on the ceilings. The walls were all red.

FUN FACT: Did you know that roman pizza is more fluffy because the crust has 30% flour and 70% water. That's what Yaribeth, Campo de Fiori's co-owner, told us. Also, Roman is square, not round. It is also served "alla pala" on a square piece of wood.

I had the Matriciana. It was cheese, bacon and tomato sauce. It was so good I could eat it for the rest of my life. It was a little spicy but in a good way. My mom and sister split a Buratta. It is like a salad on bread. It was also really good. All the ingredients were very fresh. My mom and sister said that this was the second best pizza. The kind they had in Rome was better by a little bit.

The chef and co-owner is from Rome, specifically an area called Campo de Fiori. So he named the restaurant after his home. I'd like to go and see where he grew up.

After we went dinner to Uncle Luigi's and got Italian ices to complete our European experience. They were so good. Over all it was a ***** five star dinner.
