Last night, for Irving’s Birthday, we took the celebration outside and headed out on a walk. There was some gorgeous evening sun, and it was nice to get some fresh air (I nixed my walk from work today in lieu of getting home sooner for his Birthday!)
It was nice to catch up and chit-chat. And find cute things like this to entertain us.
Eventually, we ended up at our destination: Ca Del Sole. It’s an Italian restaurant that I’ve been dying to eat at for quite a while. I love Italian food!
The menu was pretty authentic. You won’t find Buca Di Beppo quantities of pasta, but you will find really great, fresh, homemade food that you can’t find anywhere else. This menu made me really miss speaking Italian!
We started with some crusty bread, served with an olive tapenade. 
I could have dined on the bread alone. Delicious!
We were seated in a cabana style section, it was really cozy and fun. And nice to sit outside!
Irving ordered the short ribs risotto and also the veal tortellini!
And I ordered the Pumpkin Ravioli. It came out, and I remember thinking to myself “I’ll snap a picture of it once the waiter adds the fresh Parmesan cheese on top… and once he did, I started eating. It was too good. So this is the only picture of it that I got:
But the meal wasn’t over yet! There was still dessert yet to come! You can’t have a Birthday without dessert!!! Irving didn’t want me to tell the waitress that it was his birthday, but I couldn’t help it! It’s a very special day!
So our dessert came with a birthday candle. It was only appropriate!
Make a wish!
Nicely done. Hope all your dreams come true this year!
It was hazelnut gelato with an Italian pastry, drizzled with chocolate. Mmmm! 
Date nights are fun!
A Happy Birthday Indeed
Happy Birthday, Irving!!!

This place looks SO good! I need to try it! Where is it?
Looks delicious! Happy (late) Birthday Irving!
Looks like such a fun birthday date night! I love Italian food as well. My husband’s family is Italian and from Italy (born there and still have accents), so the food at family functions totally rocks.
Oh man! You’re a lucky girl! YUM! I love accents!
