Pizza e Vino Night in RSM!!

A couple weekends back Mike, Kacie, Danny and I made plans to visit the new pizza place in RSM, Pizza e Vino. Friday night came around and of course Danny forgot about it even after making fun of me for reminding him so many times about it. But don't worry we were still set to go!!

It was perfect because I, of course, love new restaurants in my city and this one was a five minute walk around the lake. We walked next door grabbed Mike and Kacie and hit the lake!!

First off let me introduce the cast of characters, and an interesting cast they are!

First up is Mike, he doesn't let me take his picture so I tell him whatever picture I can snap will end up on my blog!


Next is Miss Kacie!! When I asked Kacie for her thoughts on the night she said, "We drank and had pizza. 'Nuf said."


Of course, there is always Danny. The cutest boyfriend in the world, and no need to ask, I am not biased! Hehehehe.


And last, but not least, ME!! What fun would pizza e vino night be with out me? Not much I tell ya!


As I mentioned Pizza e Vino is a brand new addition to RSM and I was so excited to check it out. Its a little tiny restaurant just off the lake that used to be an Italian place. We thought it would be great to sit on the patio being the nice summer night it was. When we got there the rest waited outside while I went in to let them know we wanted to sit outside. And holy cow it was hot in there, it is a small restaurant with maybe 10 tables and a giant pizza oven, not a good combo. I asked about being served on the patio and they said totally possible except they can't serve alcohol out there, its more of a common patio area, not theirs so they aren't licensed for it. So of course we braved the heat of the inside...it was pizza e VINO night after all!!

We got ourselves a table and looked over the menu, which was full of all sorts of tasty looking pizzas. There were plenty of pizzas to choose from but I do wish they had a couple non-pizza options.

I have two big pet peeves at a restaurant, the first of course is not having my drink refilled (which I do admit its hard to keep up with my speed diet coke drinking) and the second is waiting for our server to greet us when we arrive. I didn't have a problem with the drink refills this night, as we were drinking wine, but we did have to wait a long time for our server to come over. So long that I was beginning to think they didn't see us and that would be hard since, as I mentioned, there are only about 10 total tables in the entire restaurant. I chalked this one up to new restaurant kinks, once our server arrived she was very sweet.

As a group we decided on three pizzas to share and a "couple" (or more glasses) of wine. Sorry I forgot to snap a picture of the pizzas when we first got them but I did think about it before we finished them!!

I must say that all three pizzas were excellent!! They were New York style pizzas, with thin crusts and interesting toppings. We could have even ordered a fourth we ate them so quickly. In fact Danny and I went back a couple nights later we thought the pizzas were so good. Danny got one of the same pizzas while I tried a new one. This time we got to eat on the patio since it was a diet coke kinda night. Plus Aspen and Gracie got to come with us, which I always prefer.

Pizza e Vino night complete we headed to the grocery store to get, what else? More to drink!!

Mike seemed so confused by all the choices!!


You will never guess who we ran into in the local RSM Ralph's!! Don't even bother trying, I will just tell you!! It was Barry Manilow. Yep THE Barry Manilow and he was so friendly!!



Ok so maybe it wasn't THE Barry Manilow but he was still fun!

We arrived back home and it was our turn to host the Friday night fun so we grabbed Kacie and Mikes dogs and headed to our house. This is why Kacie and Mike are the perfect neighbors for us, I don't think anyone else other than the four of us is ok with four large dogs running all over the house.


So I should just put it out there that at this point the night gets a little fuzzy; a direct result of the number of drinks consumed by me. At best it will be me posting pictures and telling you what I see!! Hehehe.

We invited Karen and Royal (more neighbors) over to join in the neighborhood fun.


Mike and I played Wii bowling and I kicked ASS!! I won three out of four games, if you want to see the scores head over to my picture site. Although I only got pictures of three of the four games because Mike began to get a little embarrassed at the ass kicking I was handing out and quickly bypassed the score screen on game three. A total accident I am sure!! Right Mike?

I think this was our final rating or something...but again MANY drinks consumed by this point.


Although I must hand it to him, after bowling Mike started tennis and I couldn't even hit the ball!! Literally I didn't connect one time. Danny had to step in and save me!


This is just a bonus picture because I have no idea what Kacie is doing. Her and Danny were working on some graphic design stuff and then this happened.


Two wild and crazy girls!!


At some point in the night Danny and I broke into our supply of confetti filled Easter eggs. What? You don't use confetti filled Easter eggs in June? Well you are missing out!!

One of the egg victims!


I am STILL finding confetti all over there house!! I wish I would have thought to take a picture of my kitchen when I woke up the next day!! You would have thought we had 100 people over and all 100 of us set off bombs!!

So as you can see it was a very busy night, I think. Hehehehe. But once I began taking pictures of the clock and noticed the time I realized it was time to call it a night!!


Aspen felt the same way!! Hanging off Gracie's bed isn't nearly as comfortable as the big king sized bed upstairs.


In the spirit of being honest on my blog I paid for my night of fun the next day. If I am totally honest I paid for it by not moving till 4:30pm!! Lets just say I have been on a drinking hiatus since that night!!
