A middle-of-the-road place to be: Agrodolce

Tonight, I had a disappointing meal at Agrodolce (bittersweet). I tasted the spinach beet salad, an unusually put together dish, consisting of a sweet, nutty, and bitter flavor that would be a terrible choice for any kid who is not in college or in their mid thirties. Then came a caprese that I think was the most flavorful, fresh, evenly balanced, and amazing caprese that I have ever had. Most kids will probably think that it’s fantastic too, but there is a guarantee your kid will avoid the basil- don't be mad about it, that's totally natural that kids do avoid greens. I had ordered margarita pizza, but the waiter gave me a Manhattan pizza. The service that was present wasn't very good, but the Manhattan pizza is great for a kid with its well bodied sauce. My mother had penne with grilled radicchio, which was too flavorful to me, it felt overwhelming to eat! Overall, I will give Agrodolce one star.

Enjoy your next bites,

Take an indulging bite out of Cava! A number one restaurant for you and your kids!

Tonight, I went to the common Washingtonian milestone in Rockville, Cava, a delicious Greek restaurant that is really hard to beat. I started off with a popular Greek food- hummus, of course! I absolutely loved how you can really taste how it's so tangy and vibrant; I couldn't help myself from a triple dip- but don't tell! A few seconds later, I found myself looking at a plate of dolmades (stuffed grape leaves). I remember the minty and sweet taste that was so good and thought, even at the beginning, I would give a great review. Suddenly, a mouth-watering plate of tiropitas came out. But how could I possibly have known they were going to be so flaky, golden, and cheesy? Next, some saganaki came, and a note for parents, your kid[s] may love the cool fire display used to cook it in the pan, but because the dish is strong, chewy, striking, and grown up (it really depends on your kid), maybe you adults can eat it, and your kid can see the display. In literally two seconds, a hot plate of Greek fries appeared plus dipping yogurt (force your kid to try the yogurt- they might forget ketchup). Your kid will, without doubt, love these! They are crispy, crunchy, and greasy (check my arteries), and I think these make other fries look awful. I got a very popular spanakopita, and when I took a bite, my one thought was: green. It's almost like Cava owns a farm, the spanakopita's spinach is so fresh, but kids will not like the spinach at all. At Cava, I think the service is awesome; the people are lovely (if possible, ask for service from Christie, a great waitress!), a great thing at Cava is how quickly the food comes, yet is still unrushed. I declare Cava four and a half stars!
