It was too bad we couldn't try any of the pasta, but I guess that's a reason to come back! I first read your post through a friend that said she had heard about a good Italian place in Monterey Park, of all places.

Bollini's is as authentic Neapolitan-style pizza as I've found around here. Serving anchovies in whole filets is how they do it in Italy. But yeah, anchovies are too salty for me. I can only handle a little of it.Wandering Chopstickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04703018765718062460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29502985.post-56749808039144576072008-03-30T11:04:00.000-07:002008-03-30T11:04:00.000-07:00I had the Scardinia and Rocco pizzas.

My blood pressure rose 30 points from the first two slices I ate. No kidding! Second, there were just way too many pepperonis on the Rocco. I'd say they covered about 70% of the pizza. They need to be more conservative with Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12051968530777853741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29502985.post-31897096691199693402008-03-27T07:53:00.000-07:002008-03-27T07:53:00.000-07:00Liberal Foodie,You're welcome.
