Piccolo Buco Roma - set mere steps from Rome's famed Trevi Fountain - is where Cooper's Hawk Founder, Tim McEnery, first discovered Chef Luca Issa and his wonderful pizza. The ingredients were deceptively simple: creamy, indulgent mozzarella mingled with a bright and bold tomato sauce. But it was the extraordinary, tall crust - crisp on the outside yet cloud-like at the center - that won his heart. He couldn't wait to introduce America to a pizza this special!

Food was great. Pics with Santa and the Grinch was amazing, kids loved it! But it’s was very expensive. I know you’re paying for the experience. But $300 for 2 adults / 2 kids for my 5yo to eat a few eggs … yikes. We’d do it again, but it would *feel* better if the kid’s prices were cheaper, with a paying adult, or something like that.

We went to Kona Grill for lunch. My husband and I were in the mood for sushi. We both had the sushi/salad combination, which was a fantastic value. The Asian salad had the right amount of crunch and flavor. The crunchy spicy tuna roll and nigiri were delicious. Tan, our server, was wonderful and patient. We had a coupon/gift card and he took care of everything. Bought gift cards because there was a superb deal if you buy $100, you get $50 bonus. Can’t wait to go back for Happy Hour or brunch .
