Pranzo Italiano

I work at Kingsland Farmers’ Market so I get to eat here as much as i’d like (BE JEALOUS). Pranzo is probably the BEST all-​around place to eat here in the Market. I’ve never had anything I didn’t like but by far the best things are his pizza, Pasta dishes and panini’s.

In Kingsland Farmers Market, there’s an interesting little Italian spot just next to Primal Eats. Pranzo Italiano came in just before the holidays, and it’s a pretty good addition to the mix.
Let’s see, in the period of a few months, I’ve tried their italian sausage sandwiches, a few pastas and unbelievably, a pretty darn good Osso Bucco for under $ 20!!! All the food is made fresh, the flavours are rich and yet because it’s not in a restaurant, the prices are surpringly cheap. More importantly, the chef actually cares a lot of the diner’s experience. At one time, even though there were already several cooked sausages available for the sandwiches, he was concerned the taste wouldn’t be at it’s best as they were more than 20 min or so old in the warmer. So he promptly made me a fresh one.
Must haves? I would say any of their fresh soups. I’ve found their take on lentil soups to be simply awesome, thick with lentils, in a dark flavourful broth. Over this past winter, it was one of my favorite highlights to the cold weekends. The Lasagna is also quite a good find.
Well worth a stop for lunch weekdays or weekends, I would highly recommend this for a great take out or a quiet lunch in the Kingsland dining area.
