Ade and Noelle Adedoyin, known as @friendlyblackfoodies on Instagram, are passionate food reviewers with strong connections to the Middleton community. We had the pleasure of interviewing them about their favorite date night restaurants.
Villa Dolce - 1828 Parmenter St
An Italian restaurant located in the heart of downtown Middleton, Villa Dolce is a staple of the community. “We’ll often get pizza and pasta and share the dishes. Their dessert is also top tier. It’s a cute ambiance - we’ve actually seen someone get engaged there, so it’s a very romantic spot” - Noelle.
Cooper’s Hawk- 1611 Deming Way
“Their menu helps you pair a wine with your entree, and they have a tasting area if you don’t want to eat a full meal. It’s a great date night activity” - Noelle.
“Cooper’s Hawk works for a special evening or regular date night. The outdoor seating also has a great vibe” - Ade.
Hidden Cave Cidery - 2500 N Pleasant View Rd #102
“A hidden gem, with a casual but intimate setting. They partner with local food trucks and often have live music. A couple years ago we enjoyed Valentine's Day there. Our favorite ciders were the Blackberry Lemon and Honeysuckle French Toast.” - Ade
Taza - 1900 Cayuga St
"Casual Mediterranean dining with great service, Taza has delicious shareable plates and is a great restaurant to go to with friends.” - Ade
“Everything at Taza is good, but our favorite is the mixed grill” - Noelle
