When walking in downtown we came across this little antique/thrift store which is a big hobby of ours so it was very cool to see everything they had. It’s a lot bigger than it seems!

Giovanni's Pizza Carpinteria
We wanted a change from pizza so for dinner we came here and I have both stopped thinking about how delicious and crispy those French fries were. My bf enjoyed the burger and the salad was OK.
