So, a run of the mill experience…
Mulberry Street has a beautiful sign and has really added an aesthetic to the corner, but the appearance might be the strongest thing brought to the table here.
Okay, maybe that was harsh – the mozzarella and tomato was pretty good. It could certainly use some balsamic vinegar and fresh mozzarella, but it was fine. The wait staff was excellent and the hostess did a fantastic job at table management. The drinks were fine and if I were looking for a quick drink and (maybe) a snack, this would be great.
However, since we were hoping for good to great pizza in a local-ish area, this place fell short. The pizza was on par (or below) with my local pizzeria (big shout-out to Capri that rarely disappoints and provides a great bang for the buck). Throwing some jalapeƱo-esque peppers on a pizza with sweet sausage doesn’t make for hot and sweet – it makes for okay. I think additional mozzarella would helped the ricotta balance. The pasta was tasty, but seemed as though spaghetti was being passed off as bucatini (no center hole). Plus, onions are not a substitute for flavor.
If you are in the area and are just looking for a quick something, it can be an option (but there are many quick eats options all along Mamaroneck). If you are looking for something very special, keep looking. The food was average and one of the biggest pluses was the “family” style potential portions. Again, nice atmosphere (even though it got loud) and the wait staff were polite and attentive. The food is clearly playing to the family crowd by trying to please all, but in my opinion it can use an improvement.
I had high hopes and we shall see what happens here. In the meantime check out their happy hour, weekdays from 5pm to 8pm, which offers some great specials at the bar - $3 Beers, $4 Wines & $5 Mixed Drinks.
