Your two baking beauties, that you will soon learn to love through this blog (if you don't already), have just been separated by time and space. So starting a collaborative cooking blog has not come together as quickly as we hoped.
But here we are!

I, Gab (also known as yab), have been baking away. This is mostly due to the fact that, my dear Lissy (your other baking blogger) has just left me and moved, from the dull and dreary Philly, to the big and bold city of Angels.
Now that I am stuck in our home town of Philly, alone, I am determined to bake more goodies and become more of a Philly foodie. I am determine to dive into the east coast that surrounds me. Giving you, our lovely food readers, a Philly exploration of good eats and sweet treats.
Speaking of good eats, here it is, our first review!
Ulivo
My family and I took a quick trip to South Philly, this long weekend, for some good italian. South Philly is where you want to go when your looking for Italian in Philadelphia. Home to the Italian Market during the day, South Philly, has some excellent dinning at night.
We actually had dinner in Queen Village. I'm not super familiar with every area of Philadelphia, growing up in the suburbs, but Queen Village is in South Philly.
Sunday was my first experience at Ulivo. It was excellent!
Our waitress was so personable and funny, I loved her. She recommended we do a family-style type dinner.
We had three appetizers chosen and two seasonal pastas, all chosen by the chef, then we each had an individual main course.
It was quite a lot of food among all of us.
My favorite item, out of everything on the menu, was the riccotta gnocchi with spinach and truffle oil. The gnocchi, which is already my favorite food, were like little cheese marshmallows, super light and fluffy.
Ulivo is a BYOB and has a casual dress code. A perfect place for an easy, delicious, Sunday Italian dinner with the family!
