I love experiencing various microcultures of big cities through walking around and taking in the vibe of different neighborhoods. The best find is coming upon a mom-and-pop restaurant with a backstory of taking a concept and making a go of it.
As I walked into the unassuming storefront of Pizzeria Deville, I was greeted by the smell of authentic dough toasting, and it brought me back to the streets of Capri and Sorrento in southern Italy. The dining area was busy for a 2pm seating on a Sunday. Guests were chatting away while a Bill Withers tune played quietly in the background.
