3 Palms Pizzeria -- Hudson, OH

By -

3 Palms Pizzeria is a Neapolitian style pizza restaurant in the First & Main shopping district of downtown Hudson. The first time I tried 3 Palms was during the Taste of Hudson last year and it quickly became one of our favorite restaurants in Hudson.




The dining area at 3 Palms consists of heavy wooden tables, giving the restaurant a rustic feel. There are large windows throughout the dining area, giving you plenty of sunlight during your dining experience.


Make sure you save room for dessert, upon entering 3 Palms, you'll be greeted by the dessert case and the gelato case. You need to order the gelato, it's wonderful, I've never tried a flavor here that I didn't like.


On a Friday or Saturday you may need to wait a little for a table, 3 Palms wrote down my phone number and told me that we could walk around outside and would receive a text when our table was ready.




It was an incredibly nice night, so Dave and I opted to sit out on their patio. They have a mix of some larger group tables and some couple's tables outside.



The patio is along the front and side of the restaurant, we were at a table closest to the main entrance. However, the patio starts far enough away from the main entrance, that we weren't bothered by people entering and leaving the restaurant. One of my biggest restaurant pet peeves is being seated too close to the main door or the kitchen entrance, it always makes it difficult to enjoy your meal, because there's too much activity.



Flowers were everywhere along their gate.




We weren't too hungry, so we skipped ordering a starter. If you're hungry for an appetizer, I would recommend the Crispy Fried Artichokes served with lemon roasted garlic dipping sauce or the Antipasto Plate if you're ordering an appetizer for a larger group.

We split a Funghi Pizza which includes wild mushrooms, cippolini onions and smoked mozzarella cheese (smoked in house).

All pizzas at 3 Palms are prepared in the traditional Neapolitian way and cooked in a wood burning pizza oven. Due to the dough being hand rolled, each pizza may look a little different due to the individual qualities it may have obtained through hand rolling and wood firing. 




I love the thin, crispy crust that 3 Palms creates with their pizza making techniques and cooking the pizza in a wood burning oven. If mushrooms aren't a food you love, 3 Palms has a large list of pizza options and includes all of the ingredients for each on their menu. I've also tried the Margherita pizza before and loved it just as much as the Funghi.



For dessert Dave and I split some caramel gelato. Gelato is denser than ice cream, but it has a lower percentage of fat, allowing the flavors to shine through better. I have never been disappointed with 3 Palms gelato, I'm sure all of their flavors taste divine. 



My rating for 3 Palms:

Today's Bride Wedding Show -- Cleveland, OH

Right after engagement season (the period from Thanksgiving to New Year's) it's bridal show season. During the last nine months of my engagement I have not attended a single bridal show. Now suggestions for bridal show events are showing up all over my Facebook page. As a 2017 bride with most of her vendors already chosen, I wasn't inclined to check out any bridal shows during the next few months, but I was offered the opportunity to be the featured bride at my photographer's booth at the Today's Bride Bridal Show in Cleveland, which gave me the opportunity to interact with other Northeast Ohio couples, as well as explore the displays at the IX Center. This is a two day event, I was present just for the second day of the bridal show. The super cute stemless wine glass above was available for purchase with champagne, wine, or a cocktail. As you already know I'm obsessed with all things Ohio, so I needed one of the glasses. Once I was done at my photograph

Velvet Tango Room -- Cleveland, OH

V elvet Tango Room is in a nondescript hole-in-the wall located on the fringes of the Ohio City and Tremont neighborhoods of Cleveland. From the outside the facade of the Velvet Tango Room blends right into the dilapidated buildings that surround the venue. On Friday night, the street was quiet, the glow of downtown was behind us, but Columbus street was dark. Had we not been to the Velvet Tango Room before, the glow of the neon sign would have been the only thing to lead us to our destination. The Velvet Tango Room is not like other bars, there are numerous articles touting how exclusive and elusive entrance to the Velvet Tango Room can be. You see, there is no need to make reservations to sit in the front room; although the venue is a secret in and of itself, the secret backroom, which is accessible by key card entrance only, requires reservations in advance...sometimes weeks in advance. Some people have written that the backroom is for the socially elite -- despite the fact th

Afternoon Tea at Coquette Patisserie -- Cleveland, OH

Happy Mardi Gras! I wanted to get this post in before the end of February and it's fitting, because Coquette Patisserie has King Cake today.  On February 19th Dave and I attended Afternoon Tea at Coquette Patisserie -- this event required registration in advance and it sold out so if you see an Afternoon Tea pop up on Coquette Patisserie's Facebook page make sure to register yourself! Afternoon Tea is an event hosted semi-frequently at Coquette Patisserie -- a quick glance at their past Facebook events showed a December, January, and February tea. However, this is not a monthly event (yet), so if you'd like to attend one keep an eye out and then make sure to book a table. Afternoon Tea for February consisted of a prix fixe menu which included "a tea sandwich, quiche, French macaron, opera cake, cheesecake and fresh baked brioche with jam & compound butter, and a pot of tea or a french press of coffee." When we arrived we discovered tha
