Obica Mozzarella - London

what I can say about obica is that it is easy, but good eating with great. from salads to pizzas, everything is made with high-quality ingredients that reminds me very much of the Mediterranean species of food search.

Baller place with good and perfect music for the mood that matches the weather. Located 3 minutes walk from the Canary Wharf tube station. Perfect if you're meeting someone around and would like to get a coffee while you wait. Mostly a cafe, turns into a cosy bar on weekends. Costs about 20 pounds for two.

What I can say about Obica is that it serves simple but good food with class. From the salads to the pizzas everything is made with high quality ingredients, which reminds me very much of the Mediterranean way of looking at food. Downside is the price despite enjoying my meals and occasional coffees here I feel that it is severely overpriced.

Obicà is a mozzarella bar as such, most of the menu revolves around those white spheres of deliciousness. Don't expect haute cuisine here, just good simple cooking based on good quality ingredients. I went for the classic caprese salad (they have two sizes for this). The plain mozzarella was light and fluffy, as it should be, and the sliced tomatoes, of various colours, were lovely too. For mains, I got the pizza with Tuscan sausage and blu di bufala cheese. This took a short while to arrive (something must have been going on in the kitchen), but when it did arrive, it was very good for a pizza baked in an electric oven. (Given the restaurant's location in the lobby of an office building, I assume it would be difficult to install a wood fired oven there). Overall a decent, unpretentious meal.

Great tasting and very large pizzas. I think I almost died trying to force one down my throat the other day. Probably one of the better Italian eateries in Canary Wharf.
