Pizza in the Italian Quarter

 Lunch today just had to be right on top of the hill over looking Washington Square Park and Saint Peter & Paul’s church in the old Italian quarter.

Simply amazing building inside and out.


So quiet to just sit and reflect.



Tony’s is the place to be on a Sunday for late lunch


We scored the front table, that Aussie hat working it’s magic again. Barbera, one of our faves when it comes to Italian wines.
The foot crossing are all in the italian colours making it feel super festive.


Puffy crust that you can taste the smoke for the wood oven simply done with fig preserve, prosciutto, parmigiano and balsamic glaze.


Our waitress name was Theresa which touch a little nerve for me today, her gentle ways and kindness just reminded me so much of my beautiful sister 💔. We chatted as I do and she gave me the biggest cuddle and whispered in my ear that my Therese was with us all today.

    1. That day Suzi, it was just so wonderful and in a lovely way MY Therese was channelling to us through our waitress. When she arrived at the table I said my beautiful sister’s name IS Therese! And you are just some much like her … so bubbly and kind. Sandy and I were both moved but held it together till after the lunch and then upon leaving … she asked IS or WAS. A tear was had and hence the picture. Was a truly wonderful time 💚 💜
