Bobby Lupo's

About a week ago (I am so behind on my blogging!), we had another dinner out with Michael's clerkship site director. She really couldn't be any nicer or more welcoming. I truly feel as though I know the full culinary prowess of Killeen and Harker Heights, Texas because of her lovely hospitality.

We met at Bobby Lupo's, a cute pizza place near her home, and ended up getting several pizzas to-go before heading to her house to eat and mingle. The pizza was rather delicious... Better than Joes Pizza in Killeen by far. I tried a small slice of all three flavors: chicken bacon ranch, buffalo chicken, and margherita. I was surprised that I liked all of them, with the margherita pizza being my favorite. It has a little ricotta and fresh spinach on top of the mozzarella, tomato and basil that make up a normal margherita pizza.

I'd like to say that we'll definitely be going back there before we leave, but seeing as our departure date is looming a mere 5 days away, I have my doubts!

Luigi's

Last night we went out to dinner in Harker Heights, which is about 15 minutes away from Fort Hood.  It was a good-bye dinner of sorts because the visiting resident, Allison, is going back to San Antonio today after spending a month up here at Darnall Army Medical Center.  Michael really enjoyed working with her this past week, so even though I wasn't feeling great (still fighting the nasty head cold) we headed out to her farewell.

Luigi's was the restaurant of choice. It was a local Italian place that was bring-your-own-wine for a $4 corking fee.  I brought the bottle of Killka Malbec (which was even better than I remembered it), and someone else brought Dalliance Red Blend (which was milder in comparison to the malbec, but still good).

The food was surprisingly good, and reasonably priced.  My manicotti was a perfectly sized portion for $8. My husband had lobster ravioli, which was slightly pricier, but just as delish.  I tasted some of his sauce on a piece of homemade bread... so yummy!

The company was lovely, too, as always here in Texas.

All in all, Luigi's joined the ranks of restaurants we have enjoyed here in Fort Hood!  I can't believe we only have two weeks left here... can't decide if I'm happy or sad...
