Party of . . . 22
My husband and I, along with the other 3rd grade parents, were invited to a social at Il Cane Rosso in Deep Ellum tonight. We thought sure why not - we know most of the families going - and boy are we glad we did!
The evening was a private party and when we got our of his car you could smell the goodness coming from the restaurant. We walked inside this new restaurant and were warmly greeted by friends. Almost immediately the wait staff brought out the appetizers: garlic knots, mushroom knots, pepporini knots and veggie knots. Garlic was hands down the best - all of the knots was warm dough baked with the different goodies inside them. Three bites and you were done with your knot and on to the next. Leave it to the husbands, they broke the ice and dove right in! 
Next the salads were brought out - I started out with the ceasar salad - it was good and I love a lettuce not too cold. My friends Julie, said how good the other salad was so off I go to taste and boy was she right. It was an Insalata Mista with balsamic vinaigrette. Love balsamic vinegar!
The wait staff was amazing and cleared off plates after each course and were Johnny on the spot with the drinks. Glad I am not doing the dishes! Pizzas were brought out - one yummy creation after another. This isn't your typical pepporini pizza. These pizzas had speciality meats and high end ingredients you would only find at home but who has a wood buring pizza over?
We were done eating pizza and into the good gossip only to smell a most amazing scent! It was their Smores pizza and Nutella Pizza. Being a professional consumer of anything sweet I was in. My husband brought me one piece of each and there was none left. Our boys would have loved the Smores as it was textbook gooey marshmellow - warmed chocolate and the pizza dough was the perfect subsitute for graham crackers. Their apple pizza was also very good! Perfect way to end the night!!!
The evening was absolutely wonderful - good friends, good times and really great food! Thanks Il Cane Rosso (the Red Dog) named after their red dog!
Oh, check them out for your next party! They have a traveling pizza oven!!!
