Review: Federal Hill Pizza

By BILL RODRIGUEZ  |  November 27, 2012

But most appreciated was the pasta — fettuccine with grilled chicken and mushroom in a garlic cream sauce ($12.99). An enormous platter that could feed four, we hardly put a dent in it as we savored the delicate flavor — not overly garlicky — and loads of chicken. We were well pleased.

The three desserts are each $5.99. The cannoli was familiar enough, but we had to ask about the coco pane and boco pane. Despite being similarly named, they are quite different, the first being a fried doughboy with Nutella and the latter, fried balls drizzled with balsamic reduction.

But no. We were looking forward to that pizza steaming under our anticipating gaze in the take-away box. The moment of anticipation was sweet enough.

    Some people are brittle and dry as tinder, but they don't have the sense to not play with matches. The two women at the dangerous center of Martin McDonagh's The Beauty Queen of Leenane could blaze up at any moment, and we know that one or both will by the end. Each is filled with so much pent-up hatred that spontaneous combustion seems a distinct possibility.
