Eating Italian Food at Sophia Loren Restaurant

Posted on May 28, 2025June 9, 2025 by Jupiter

Is it smart to get Italian food right near the Doumo in Milan? Probably not. It’s most likely going to be more expensive than anywhere else, and it might not even taste that good. With that in mind, we did really want to have a more traditional lunch and didn’t want to spend a lot of time walking, so we went to Sophia Loren Restaurant. Sophia Loren is a film star, something I didn’t realize until we were seated and I read the menu, which has a bunch of text about how she wanted to open an Italian restaurant because she loves food. But, it’s really the taste of the food that matters.

Lunch out at Belle Vie Cafe

Posted on May 20, 2025May 29, 2025 by Jupiter

Dann and I wanted to go out to lunch, so we decided to check out Belle Vie Cafe, which is right by the local train station! Belle Vie Cafe has a breakfast menu with tons of options, as well as sandwiches, burgers, a small kids menu and a handful of things under the ‘mains’ section as well. Dann and I were looking for a smaller lunch, so Dann went for a breakfast, I went for a mains, and we got some drinks and mozzarella sticks as well.

Dinner at The Brickhouse Bar and Grill with my uncle!

Posted on May 15, 2025May 15, 2025 by Jupiter

While in San Francisco, we got stuck for a few extra days, which was a whole ordeal. But, due to this extra time, Dann and I actually got to meet up with my uncle Bekket and his partner, for a meal out. Bekket picked The Brickhouse Bar and Grill primarily because the food looked good and it was dog friendly, as they brought their little dog. The place itself was very small-town-bar-and-grill feeling, with smaller-sized booths, sports on TV, and lots of decorations.

Dinner and Music at Revolucion de Cuba Derby

Posted on May 12, 2025May 27, 2025 by Jupiter

On our way back from Alton Towers, we often go out for food. This time, Dann picked out a place on the way back that wasn’t too far out of the way and that made sense with our timeline. That’s how we ended up at Revolucion de Cuba Derby – which had tacos, small plates, a fun kid’s menu, and some cute drinks that Dann thought I would very much like. Hungry and excited to be somewhere new, we all ordered far too much food and had a fantastic time. About halfway into our dinner, a live band came in and started playing fantastic music, which was really a huge highlight to our day.

Jamón Croquetas, Crispy Pork Belly & Cuban Fries

Whenever we go to somewhere new with new types of food, we often order a few things for the table, so that everyone can try new stuff. So, we grabbed some jamon croquetas, which are mash potatos and ham, coated in breadcrumbs, fried. We have had these before with our children, but it had been a while, so they were excited to see them again! We also got cuban fries, which were cheesy, seasoned fries that Robin ended up eating more of then her fries that came with her meal, and some Crispy Pork Belly. I didn’t love the pork belly, but Dann did. I think the sauce, with the rum and fennel, was a bit much – but everyone did try it.

American Classics at Pinecrest Diner

Posted on May 6, 2025May 17, 2025 by Jupiter

Going to the Pinecrest Diner while in San Francisco for work, is something that basically every person in the area, going to GDC, does. The diner is open 24 hours, making it perfect for the first day you wake up, jet lagged, wanting both breakfast and lunch items all at once. It reminds me of everything that I love about America. Customising meals, unlimited refills on drinks, and a very simplistic looking place that has everything you want in it. Dann and I went right after we woke up, around 7:30 am local time (2:30 pm in England), so we were both rather hungry.
