Yesterday, after taking some lovely fall photos with a friend, we decided to go out for dinner. My friend suggested we get pizza some where. Since pizza is one of my favorite foods, I agreed. We decided to go to the Grapevine Trattoria.

The Grapevine Trattoria is a lovely small restaurant located in the heart of downtown Nanaimo.

I ordered the Italian flat bread pizza. I am normally not a huge fan of flat bread pizza (I tend to prefer fluffy crust pizza). However this pizza was quite good. The only thing that could be improved on with this pizza, is not putting whole cloves of garlic on it! I like garlic, but eating clove after clove is a little too much.

Below is an image of the pizza.

After the dinner we ordered dessert. I ordered the almond apricot torte. The menu described this dessert as a sponge cake with apricot puree sauce, butter cream icing, served with whipping cream. I enjoyed this dessert immensely. I loved that it was not too sweet. The many different ingredients created a variety of different textures in the dessert that were very pleasing to taste. I would highly recommend ordering this dessert.
