Yesterday I decided around 2 pm that it was time for lunch. I called up a friend and we went out to a small local restaurant that neither of us that ever been too. The restaurant we picked was called; The Grapevine Trattoria.

This Italian eatery has a lovely ambience. It is elegant, but at the same time not too fancy.

Below is an image of inside the restaurant.

The lunch menu was full of many tempting meal ideas. After some deep contemplation I decided to order the cannelloni.

All pasta dishes are served with a green salad and bread sticks.

The green salad was amazing. The house vinaigrette dressing was unlike any I had tasted before. It was a good size portion that arrived just after we ordered our lunches.

The breadsticks were divine. They were served hot out of the oven. They had plenty of cheese on them as well as many herbs and spices. They were the perfect accompaniment to the cannelloni I ordered which had a lot of sauce with it.

After lunch we decided to order dessert. We ordered the dessert cannelloni. It consisted of a pastry on the outside and pecans with a mocha filling on the outside. It was served with whipping cream and a bit of chocolate sauce dribbled on top. I loved every bite of this wonderful dessert.

This is one restaurant I will be dining in again, soon…

 I was in the mood for something different so I ordered the bacon double cheeseburger pizza. This was my first experience ordering this type of pizza. I expected the pizza to be very much like a burger but in pizza form. This is how the menu described the pizza: signature pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, lean ground beef, bacon, onion, and mushrooms. To me the description makes this entree sound like it should taste like a cheese burger in pizza form.

My friend ordered the same pizza as me and her pizza turned out the same with little or no sauce and minimal cheese.

Overall, I would give the Bacon Double Cheeseburger Pizza from Boston Pizza a 3/10 score (ten being the highest possible score). It is one menu item I won’t be ordering again.
