To celebrate Zoe's first three months of life, Jody and I had a date night. My mom was here for a few days last week, so she babysat Zoe and got in some quality Grandma time.
We hadn't had a date night in a while and it was really nice. We headed to Piccolo Sogno, which is at the Grand/Halstead/Milwaukee intersection and pretty close to our place. I had a bunch of gift certificates from there for a story I wrote so we decide to give it a try. We made an early reservation and when we got there the place was packed. After they tried seating us in the bar area, we waited for a little bit and finally got a table in the actual restaurant part. I always hate when you make reservations and they stick you at the worst table. Anyway, the service was kind of lacking in general....everyone working there was really intense and seemed to kind of hate their job. Aside from that, though, the setting was pretty nice--very hustle bustle, which we like--and the food was delish. The menu was really interesting and they a great selection of unique homemade pasta dishes. I had the farro pasta, and even though I still have no idea was farro is it was an awesome meal. Jody got a ravioli dish and cleaned his plate right nice.
We've gone out a couple times on our own, but this time probably felt the best. Zoe's definitely on a schedule at this point and we are both out of that zombie mode enough to really enjoy some couple time. Thanks for the help, Mom!
