We have an Italian family owned restaurant/pizzeria close to where we live. We had heard from other families in our neighborhood that it was pretty good, so we decided to give it try last Saturday night.
As soon as we saw the brick oven, we knew we wanted pizza for dinner. I ordered a spinach, oregano, tomato pizza and Jeff got the "Paradise" pizza. The "Paradise" pizza was a cheese pizza with french fries on top of it. Jeff has told me about this pizza before, but I didn't believe him. It was actually quite yummy! Who would have thought to put fries on top of a pizza?
Afterwards we decided to drive through the local town of Palagonia. I had heard through a friend that there was an Italian supermarket there. So we ventured out. It was such a cozy little town. They had strung white lights up so that it looked like a festival was taking place. There were fruit stands and people standing outside talking to one another. There were people sitting outside at cafes drinking coffee or wine. People were zipping by on vespas. It was so cool.
Then we decided to drive to the next local town of Mineo to see what if anything was going on there. Mineo is a town on a mountain directly behind our neighborhood. After finally getting to the top of the winding road up the mountain, we found much of the same scene. Everyone outside talking, socializing and having a good time. There was also a small soccer match being played.
Although we just drove around each of the towns, we made a mental note to come back one evening and have dinner or a coffee. We were actually quite proud of ourselves for venturing out. Stay tuned for more adventures...
