Family Lunch Date

A few months ago, we decided to make a point of spending an afternoon or evening each weekend exploring the area and trying new restaurants.  We were in a Whataburger, Rudy's, and Pizza Hut rut! We've already tried some pretty good new places, and this past weekend we headed to Las Cruces for lunch.  We are always looking for new restaurants to take people to when they come visit, and this one is definitely going on the list!  

I found Si Italian Bistro and Bakery on Facebook and it looked really neat!  It's located in an old home and when we got out of the car you could already smell all the yummy Italian food!

She loves stickers right now.  

I love that they entertain her so well, and for so long!

Margherita Pizza.  Basil, fresh tomato, and mozzarella. 

They had a good variety of items on their menu, from burgers to traditional pasta dishes and sandwiches.  We each got a personal size wood fired pizza, and they were delish!  They use local ingredients and you could really tell how fresh they were.  

Death by Chocolate Cake and a Chocolate/Vanilla Cream Puff

One of the reasons I chose this restaurant is because they are also a bakery.  You can order dessert with your meal, or just stop in and pick up something up! We shared the death by chocolate cake and wow it was so so good!  I tried a cream puff too, mainly because I'd never had one before.  It was pretty good, and would be perfect if you just want a little something sweet.  I'd recommend the cake though....yep just get the cake.  Or don't, more for me!
