Dolce Pane e Vino (Rancho Santa Fe)

Not cheap, and not the best best place ever. But had a very delicious (if pricey) date night tonight at Dolce Pane e Vino, in lovely Fairbanks Ranch.

Cool vibe, some communal tables.

Great wines.

Enjoyed my delicious (if $15) burrata, stone fruit, candied almonds, etc. salad (CH likes his too).

Bruschetta with tomatoes was fine.

My flatbread with burrata was delicious. CH kept stealing it.

His chicken cooked under a brick in the wood-fired oven took forever to arrive. Strangely, the offered me a free second glass of wine and nothing to CH (probably because I seemed impatient and not him!). He thought it was ok, a little bland.

No dessert - he was tired!

Overall, it was a very lovely option to know about, esp. if you don't have to get on a freeway to go there. Not the best price/value ratio ever, but I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and the atmosphere. Successful date night!
