I've never been more thankful to have outgrown my lactose intolerance than when I discovered San Matteo Pizzeria e Cucina. This place is cheese HEAVEN.
The Giant Burrata stopped me in my Instagram-scrolling tracks, and it did not disappoint in person. This thing is the size of a pumpkin and weighs 4 pounds. I witnessed a new kind of cheese pull as mini burrata tumbled out like an avalanche of cheesy goodness right before my eyes.

But the burrata-stuffed burrata doesn't end there. Not only does it come in the size of a basketball, but it also comes in a smaller ball that fits perfectly on top of a pizza.
While I came for the cheese, I stayed for the pasta. This creamy, mushroom tagliatelle has burrata in it, too (I know you were worried). It's served in a foil packet that's cut open at the table for you to enjoy. I left about 10 pounds heavier than when I arrived, but it was worth it.
