Have had two good experiences eating out with SuperBoy lately.
1. Vittorio's (Torrey Highlands): I didn't love it as much as the boys. SB pronounced his pizza (with shock) as BETTER THAN BONGIORNO'S!!! Since nothing is ever better than BG's for him, this was high praise. He wanted to go the next night too. Good atmosphere too with a kid, very airy but not stuffy. CH *loved* the lasagna. I thought the eggplant parm was good but not dreamable; ditto the pasta dish I had (capellini). I did enjoy that they had a white Bourgogne by the glass (one of the negociant wines; Louis Jadot maybe?), though they call it a chard. It was very tasty and reasonable. Bread was good too.
2. Mia Francesca Del Mar: we got in here without too long a wait on a Wed. night when every restaurant in DMH was hopping and it would have been 45 min. wait at Rimel's. We actually had a great time and great meal. Good bread. They didn't make the spinach like they had before (not enough garlic, not sauteed long enough either). But it was still ok. Linguine with tuna and olives was terrific, and I enjoyed the A to Z chard from Oregon that was the suggested pairing. SB thought his pizza was fine, and he enjoyed the great scenery (people watching toward Cineapolis). SH liked his chicken with eggplant (he gave me all the eggplant, which was super tasty), but he noted that the menu always changes so they might not have a dish he likes next time. I thought this was a super place to eat with your kid!
