Hello all, let me tell you about our idea of a well spent Saturday in the Driftless Area. Our first ”must do” was a walk over to Cafe Ellie to get a cup of latte (a pumpkin spice one for me) made with Kickapoo coffee. Then we made quick stop at a Little Free Library to drop off a book [...] Last weekend, our friend Savatore Di Scala invited us out to eat at Naples 15 (in Madison), his newly opened restaurant. We were not given any menus, Sal said it was going to be a surprise!

Just a few steps from the Sundance Cinemas and various boutiques, the restaurant is a top choice for theater-goers and shoppers not only for its proximity but by it’s friendly atmosphere and consistent preparation of top quality food. Once in awhile on Friday [...] Like everywhere else, Mineral Point has been feeling the effects of the economic downturn. There are a few too many empty storefronts downtown at the moment, and the restaurants have taken it particularly hard. Closed recently are the Walker House, Gundry & Gray, Shedders, and (most lamentably) the Old Royal Inn. Things are looking up [...] We’ve been in this area for almost three years now and I’ve finally made it to The Cook’s Room! It’s in downtown Dodgeville and as you can see they are located in a beautiful, Italianate style (I hope I’m right) building. My first visit was about two weeks ago. I walked in and there was a raucous group of ladies [...] |
