Craving some good Italian food? This place is located right next door to its sister Vespaio. We haven’t tried Vespaio, but we will soon. Enoteca is a less fancy, less expensive version. However, that being said, this place isn’t cheap. We spent $40 for two people.

Some of the flavors are Mango, Mango Chile, Coffee, Strawberry, Watermelon Agave, Tamarindo, El Cucuy (lime, cucumber, chile), Pineapple Basil, and Banana Cinnamon.
We tried the Mango and the Pineapple Basil. Both were excellent. Pineapple Basil is delicious.

On May 16th, Jocelyn and I decided to randomly go to the Domain. Turns out, there was a huge taste testing of all the restaurants in the Domain. They sold 10 tickets for $20. What a deal! We went around to every booth and tried everything. We even saw cooking lessons and ate those free samples. Yummm.

$20 for 10 tickets. Worth itttttt

Here is what we had and if we liked it.

Delicious hand-made savory and sweet crepes. They were featured on food network. Located in a trailer in a small lot. Great place to go on a nice day, especially since the seating is outdoors. Make sure to have lots of time because food takes a while.
