After my team’s victory in the school wide volleyball tournament, we enjoyed our prized gift card at Sal & PePe’s restaurant. As an appetizer, I enjoyed myself to a splash in the sea with the fresh calamari. Doused in red sauce, the crispy seafood flashed a spark in my mouth right as the spices of the peppers came into play. Once I dug my teeth into a crispy layer, an entire new world was brought to my taste buds. The white, tender meat sunk into my teeth and exhaled a juicy moistness with tons of flavor. I thought to myself, “Not too bad for the first dish!” Not long after, the waitress finds me lapping up the last of the rich sauce with the spongy bread, and switches the empty plate with the entrée. I peered down to see a glistening white pizzette lying in front of my eyes. It must have been beautifully sculpted by the hands of a true chef to create a masterpiece like such. I tear a slice from the pie and take a bite only to find my eyes popping in excitement. It danced with such color on the plate but the real party was in each delectable bite. The tomatoes clashed with the white mozzarella and the fresh basil rested on top of the spongy bed. Finishing this plate as well was not difficult for me as I rest on the back of my chair with full satisfaction. To say the least, this outing was foodtastic! These are experiences that let us know that food can be overlooked at points in our life, but if you take a moment to realize it, the kitchen is an art museum when put to use and it is wonderful to enjoy the artwork. This restaurant is one I would recommend after this fantastic encounter and a time to remember.
