Poppy Pies is just SO fun and cute and different, and their pizza is incredible! The Captain may be my favorite 😋 and I also really love their frozen cocktails!🍹 Their store front is right across from @fertilegroundbeer at @belhaventowncenter, so you can either grab a table right outside PP and eat there, take your pizza to one of the many great outdoor seating areas at Belhaven Town Center, or take it into Fertile Ground! Last I checked, they let you bring food (like boxes of delish pizza) into the brewery!

Amerigo is, in my humble opinion ☺️, just one of the most iconic restaurants in town! It’s been around for YEARS, and it’s still going strong! Their cozy Italian vibes, incredible pasta dishes, bread, dessert options (always a tough choice between tiramisu and butter crunch cake), paper table cloths with crayons, and great service make them just 💯 in my book! We all love Amerigo!!

The Foxtail is a beautiful restaurant in the heart of Madison with a killer menu (think flat bread pizzas, middle eastern inspired dishes, the best cocktails, and so much more!) all in a big city feel.

I LOVE local fare, so this string of giveaways truly brings me so much joy. I hope it’ll bring some joy your way, too!

Restaurant Week Day One will post tomorrow. Can’t wait to have yall join me in celebrating local food & drink faves over the next two weeks! 🥳

Also, shout out to @elle.kay.photo for this fun photo! She’s one of my favorite humans on this earth and is one heck of a photographer! Love you and your work, my friend! 😘
