Dolce Vita and Max Coffee

Friday evening I went out for dinner with our new Spiritual Formations Coordinator - Bethany.  We tried the new Italian restaurant in town, Dolce Vita, which actually ended up not being Italian and much as just a nice restaurant.  We did order the few Italian items on the menu, so it was an Italian meal for us - but there are plenty of other non-Italian menu options there as well.

The meal began with three types of bread and a bowl of seasoned olive oil to drizzle on the bread. 

 Spinach and three cheese ravioli - topped with a chicken sauce, sun-dried tomatoes, and arugula.

The appetizer of bruscetta came at the END of the meal.  It was delicious!   

After dinner we went to Max coffee for drinks and more chatting.  I had a caramel macchiato.  It was highly caffeinated and extremely sweet...a perfect ending to a great dinner!  :)

A not-so-great ending to the dinner was the big dog who came into the coffee shop.  He didn't scare me or anything, but I had a hard time seeing a big dog walking around in the coffee shop - putting his paws up on the counter and such...guess this American still has more adjustments to make over here!  (He was actually a very pretty and friendly dog.)
