Sacramento date day: Zoo + pizza


I work full-time in downtown Sac now, but I’ve barely scratched the surface of exploring the City of Trees. So, the weekend before last Andrew and I went on a little adventure.

We wandered through the Sacramento Zoo (where I hadn’t been since I was a kid) and checked out the lions and tigers and pythons, oh my! I also discovered my new favorite animal is a red panda. They were lazily hanging in the trees for hours on end.


For lunch, we stopped by Hot Italian and tried their pizza for the first time. Andrew tried one with prosciutto and I had the Murino, with sliced pears, gorgonzola and honey. But my favorite part of the meal was dessert—their carmel saluto (salted caramel) gelato with its burnt caramel flavor was to-die-for! We took a small bowl of it to go and ate it sitting in the grass just across the street at Freemont Park. :)


What are your favorite date spots in your home city? Hmmm?
