We had been to Caffe Calabria only once before, with another couple. No babysitter tonight - but I was craving wood-oven Italian pizza (mmmm). Decided to try it out with SuperBoy.
SUCCESS!
Atmosphere: Not only cool and romantic and hip for grown-ups, but cool for a little boy. The inside is made to feel like a night street, all lit up. SB liked the fake windows and facades. The other theme of the restaurant is soccer. So there are Italian Jerseys everywhere - and soccer on the screen. The fact that SB was still in his soccer jersey from his game today received kudos from the wait staff, which SB liked.
Pizza: super yummy. We liked both the Margherita and the Margherita DOC with veggies added.
Frascati wine: delish and only $6
Green salad for only $5: super delicious and enough for us to divide in three parts as an app.
SB also liked the aranciata and was super well-behaved.
Oh - and the food came out so expeditiously. Score!!!
I asked SB if he wants to come here again. He rolled his eyes and said, "Of course," as in "Duh, Mom." North Park is also so much fun to visit. We saw an awesome African dance class going on at Stage 7.

He was so well-behaved that we went next to Heaven Sent Desserts at Univ and 30th for dessert. SB got a red velvet cake, which he liked. I got german chocolate cake, which was tasty too (and enormous). CH got a 3-chocolate cake, which was the yummiest, in my view.
Caffe Calabria and Heaven Sent: a fantastic date night for the whole family!
