While Più 39 is a pizza bar in name, they don’t look pasta-sorry, look past the pasta. The All’Amatriciana ($17++) is an all star despite its humble composition. Al dente spaghetti is tossed in a tantalising tomato ragu that’s been fortified with a healthy amount of caramelised onions. The pasta is store bought, but it’s still decent quality pasta with a decent bite to it.
⠀
A lot of tomato based sauces tend to be too sharp or a touch too sweet, but Più’s rendition was perfectly balanced, as all things should be. Mildly tangy, subtly sweet and salty enough to hit the umami spot, it was a piquant plate of pasta. Of course, bacon makes everything better, but the quantity was lacking in the dish. Definitely needs more bacon, but other than that, this is *kisses fingers* belissimo.

Mucho grazie to @piu39_italianpizzabar for hosting us, and to @burpple for organising!
