After three hours volleyball play, hunger pangs echoed among our group of four. The clock was ticking towards 9pm on a lively Saturday evening, and the question on everyone’s mind was, “Where to dine?” Our beach attire and the remnants of our athletic endeavors made us a tad conscious.
Our footsteps led us to Casa Felice at the Chaika locale. The allure? A sprawling outdoor patio cocooned by whispering trees, the inviting aroma from a traditional pizza oven, and a menu that promised to satiate both pizza aficionados and meat enthusiasts. It was a unanimous nod of approval from our quartet.
While my friend and I succumbed to the allure of the pork jolan, a dish that consistently delivers on taste and tenderness, our better halves opted for pizzas. And oh, what a treat they were! My wife’s prosciutto pizza boasted a perfectly thin crust, kissed by the flames of a genuine pizza oven. Her friend’s choice, a pepperoni pizza, was generously laden with spicy pepperoni slices, making every bite a delightful explosion of flavors.
But what truly sets Casa Felice apart is its ambiance. As you recline on the spacious patio, nature envelops you. Trees rustle, the occasional hedgehog scuttles by, and a curious cat might grace you with its presence. The vibe is laid-back, unhurried, and every visit leaves both my heart light and my stomach content. It’s a haven we retreat to every few months, and that’s a tradition we intend to keep.
To top it all, the pricing is a pleasant surprise. The jolan is priced at a modest 17 leva, while the pizzas range between 10-14 leva, contingent on size and toppings. A visit to Casa Felice is not just a meal; it’s an experience, one that beckons time and again.
