I finally made it to Kesté last night and it lived up to it’s reputation. We arrived around 7:30 on a Thursday night and only had to wait about ten minutes (there were several two-tops open but we were three). It was around 30∘but waiting on the sidewalk was easy thanks to the heater mounted outside. We split the Fresca salad, very tasty, and I ordered the Salsiccia while my friends ordered the Salsiccia e Friarielli and the Prosciutto e Arugola. All were delicious, though I am happy to admit I enjoyed mine the most – I was just in a sausage mood last night. The sausage was mild and melded perfectly with the cheese and sauce – all supported by the nicely charred crust. We also had a half liter carafe of the Gragnagno, which along with Lambrusco is my favorite wine to drink with pizza. I need to go back and have the Regina Margharita as well as the Padrino (soppressata is my favorite pizza topping) but I firmly recommend Kesté. You’ve got a lot of pizza choices in the Village, with several on Bleeker alone, but this is definitely a stand-out – highly recommended!
