Kirribilli Woodfire Kitchen, Kirribilli

Nestled in a cozy nook opposite Milson's Point train station is Kirribilli Woodfire Kitchen. Mr A and I went there on a complete whim on Sunday for a late lunch after seeing the colourful Jacaranda-lined McDougall Street, sprouting clouds of purple foliage in mid October through to November. (If you are going to venture there for instagram-worthy photos, please do keep an eye on the road and not hold up traffic).

Honestly, I had no intention of blogging about this place when we first walked in - another pizza and pasta joint, what's new? So apologies for the bad photos taken with my phone #nofilter

The restaurant has a casual dining ambience and also does takeaway and deliveries. Despite it's small size, the menu is ambitious. Basic pizzas are around $18 for a medium (11") and around $24 for a large (13"). Pastas are also at the $20 dollar mark with other mains such as T-Bone steak at $29 and salads in the high teens.

Afraid I wasn't going to finish a pizza on my own, I opted for a 11" vegetarian pizza whilst Mr. A chose Gorgonzola gnocchi.

The pizza was so massive I only managed to eat half and take the rest home. The pizza came out hot and sizzly, served on a solid wooden board. The cheese was string-y as you pulled a slice away from the pizza - divine! The base was floury on the thick, soft fluffy edges whilst being thin under the toppings - but sturdy enough to hold up the ample weight on top! Can a pizza be an architectural wonder? Toppings were generous with no particular flavour overpowering the other.

Tomato sauce, pumpkin, eggplant, zucchini, capsicum, garlic and mozzarella
(as advertised); pretty sure olives and mushrooms were also on it.

Mr. A was also very happy with his gnocchi dish, with large, marshmallow sized dumplings and a creamy sauce. The dumplings were very soft and practically melted in the mouth. I stole some off his plate! I think after a while you may get tired of the flavour though. Again the size was very generous as he struggled to finish and we had to forgo dessert.

All in all this was a lovely experience at Kirribilli Woodfire Kitchen. We were served politely and promptly, and the food exceeded expectation. Quite happy to round up my $18 pizza to a crisp $20 bill. I'll come back.
