A night out w/ the wife @ Dante Pizzeria

Went to Dante Pizzeria in Omaha w/the better half tonight. Dante's boasts Neopolitan style pizza, just like the kind in Italy. They have a brick wood fired oven, a special dough mixer from the old country, and fresh mozzarella made in house. The pizza was quite good, probably the best I've had in quite some time. We got the Giuseppe, basically sausage, onion and red pepper. The sausage was fantastic, veggies were roasted, and the cheese was nice -n- gooey, without being overwhelming. The star of the show, however, was the crust, which was tender, chewy and light. It had nice little charred spots on the bottom, which I tend to like, in moderation. The middle of the pizza was a little soggy, the cheese had kinda pooled in the center, so the dought didn't quite cook through, but it was still good. The sauce was mellow, a little tomatoey goodness, without the usual cloying sweetness that accompanies most of the pizza sauces around here. Appetizer was different, for us country bumpkins anyway. We got the salumi plate, which was grilled bread, coppa (what I've always known as capocollo) and a hard cheese that tasted a lot like really good parmesan, though our waitress didn't know what it was called. Which brings me to the one of the more disappointing aspects of our meal. Our server had no idea what she was serving. She kept referring to her cheat sheet when we questioned her about the menu items. When I asked asked her about the aforementioned cheese, she said, "I think its kinda like parmesan." Kinda like lame, in my world. I was also fairly disappointed in the beer selection. No tap, and the usual Bud, Bud Light, Coors, etc, were out in full force, though they did have the obligatory Boulevard Wheat and Pale Ale. To their credit, they did have Moretti and a coupla other Italian beers, but I wasn't in the mood to pony up $4.50 for a 12 oz. bottle. The wine list looked good, but I was completely out my depth on what wine was good with pizza, and I wasn't about to ask ol' cheat sheeter for a wine recommendation. Which is a shame, because once I tasted that pizza I kept thinking a beer or glass of wine would really hit the spot. All in all, good food, and I got to hang with my wife without the kids.
