My list of best places for a date, whether a picnic in the park or fancy dinner out! I love it all!

 1. Da Capo Caffe

4.0 star rating

Da Capo is a cute, upscale little cafe located in the Garneau area. It's a great place for a date, a pizza with friends, or a summer gelato.

Speaking of which -- pistachio gelato? Be still, my heart! I think I found a new favourite food in Edmonton!

I have a minor pesto hangover this morning from my amazing pasta meal last night. Served with red pepper and zucchini, the creamy green sauce was drizzled on top of a near-perfect meal. (Near-perfect because it was too salty for my taste buds.)
