Piccino

I really unique Italian restaurant, where their main dishes don’t center around pasta.

We ordered a bunch of dishes. We got the [kenne aged goat cheese, spring compote, sparrow brea], a salad with octopus, [garden greens, shallots, herbs, breakfast raffish, and red wine vinaigrette], the funghi pizza, and one pasta dish (pictured below) that I can’t seem to recall the name. All dishes were good, but what I would definitely order again when I’m there is the 2nd, 4th and 5th dishes I mentioned.

We also ordered red wine to go with our meal, which made a great pairing.

I’ve gotta say this winery is pretty interesting. You can go and picnic (of course you can only eat the food you buy there), and the wine tasting is only $20 (plus 5 if you’re doing the chocolate pairing).

So for food, I got the Alejandro pizza. This pizza was very cheesy (and didn’t have tomato sauce). I liked it, but really could only eat half of it because it was so cheesy.

For the wines, I got two white and 3 reds (I basically tried to choose the most expensive ones). For white, it got the Sauvignon bland and the Chardonnay from Carsi vineyard. For the reds, I got the Zin from Black-sears, the Cab from Morisoli vineyard, and the either the Merlot or Syrah. The only thing I can recall that was interesting is that the Sauvignon blanc was sweeter than others I’ve had (which I enjoyed).

For the chocolate pairing, they only go with the red wines.

BJs

An American restaurant I keep coming back to, mainly since they have a lot of variety, and they have plenty of drink selections (they have a blender plus happy hour!).

This time around I got an old fashioned and the Deep dish ziti. The old fashioned usually has about two shots of alcohol in it, although admittedly it isn’t the best old fashioned.

The deep dish ziti is basically like a meat lovers pizza in pasta form (and I’ve definitely re-ordered it multiple times).

Nikki Beach

Overall, the atmosphere was very day clubbish, and they played great house music. The servers were very engaged (and also the type of guys and girls you expect to serve at beach club).

We ordered mainly sharing dishes. Food was ok, but I would come back mainly for the atmosphere of the place. I’ll let the pics describe the food we ordered (although missing from the pics is a pitcher of mohito and a pitcher of margarita).
