No one had ever seen a pull‑apart pie before, and everyone loved it! The crust had a different texture than a traditional pie, but it tasted incredible. I'll definitely be ordering this pie again!

11.21.25: I'm always on the hunt for a good pie and while doing some research I came across Olive's…read morePastry, a local family owned bakery that's located inside of The Caramel Kitchen, and thought it's worth a try. She relocated her shop here a little over 2 months ago and has a spot that takes up the corner. When we walked in, we were immediately greeted by Kelly. She offers a variety of fruit and cream pies, tarts, cake loafs, and rolls--as well as savory pies too. Right away, I noticed how big and heavy the pies were and for $25 bucks each, that's a great deal for something homemade! We went with a whole lemon cream pie and two mini chocolate cream pies. The mini pies are $5 bucks each and pretty big too. On my way out, I decided to pre-order a Dutch Apple pie to pick up next week for Thanksgiving. The lemon cream pie was fantastic. Great lemon taste and it didn't have that sour tangy tart after taste either. What I particularly like about this lemon pie is that the topping was a whipped cream vs meringue--not everyone is a meringue fan, so the cream topping you really can't go wrong with. This pie was hefty and I loved how there was so much filling vs cream ratio. Pie crust was cooked through and had a nice crumble and flake to it. The chocolate cream pie is good if you like that lighter chocolate taste vs the dark rich chocolate taste. It had more of a silky chocolate flavor and was smooth.

Catering review…read more They almost ruined our wedding, and then proceeded to tell us we are greedy, gluttonous, liars! Jessica catered for our wedding last weekend, before the wedding we had 82 guests that would be needing food for the wedding so we decided to tell her to cook for 91 people that way we would have plenty of extra food even though she had told me weeks ahead of time there will be extra food if some of the guests would like seconds that's not a problem. In the end we only had 70 people show up and stay for dinner. By the time the last table was dismissed to get food it was nearly gone (both meats and the mashed potatoes, there was still green beans, salad, and rolls left) so that whole table including my mother in law and our photographer ended up with very bare plates! We tracked down the two guys who set up the buffet (and mind you they showed up looking very unprofessional in blue jeans and graphic t-shirts) sitting in the bed of their truck in the parking lot and asked if there was extra food because it was almost gone, they said no and that everyone was only supposed to take one kind of meat.. which no one had ever mentioned to us before this moment. A couple days after the wedding we called Jessica and explained the minimal food situation and how we had over 20 less guests than we had originally planned for, thank god! Her response was 'well I saw people loading up their plates and then throwing away excessive amounts of food after dinner, and I've never seen guests fill their plates like that in my 20 years catering.' I asked her if she was there and she said yes, my husband stopped her and asked again if she was there and where she was at during the event, she then responds that she wasn't actually there this was all information relayed from her guys.. who sat in the bed of their truck in the parking lot the entire time. She also told us that the wedding party was snatching food from the serving platters before the guys had a chance to take them out to the buffet line. This statement couldn't be farther from the reality of the situation, her guys were cutting up the tri tip on the cutting board and after he was all done and had loaded up the aluminum tray he left about 10 small scraps, mostly the fatty bites with minimal amount of meat on the cutting board and as he walked the tray out the door to the buffet line he said these few bites are for the wedding party to enjoy before we get to the buffet line. We went around and took photos with every table during dinner and have since asked several of our guests if they saw 'loading of plates and throwing away excessive food' none of us saw anything like she is claiming to have seen first hand. During the phone call Jessica kept telling us she 'is sorry that our guests took so much unnecessary food and then threw away heaping plates. She's never seen anything like that in her 15 years catering' .. I thought it was 20 years? She also said 'I provide enough meat for each guest to have 1/2 a pound which is why I cooked 40 pounds of meat for your event' but we told her we would have 91 guests.. apparently math also isn't her strong subject. She kept telling us she already apologized and she isn't sure what else we want from her, when her apology was nothing more than just repeating how our guests are selfish and gluttonous. The only thing we were looking for was some understanding a genuine apology for the added and unnecessary stress on our wedding day, we were only met with condescending judgement and superiority complex from Jessica. I'm sure she will respond to this review reiterating her points about our guests and reiterating we are liars. Overall, the food tasted good but the stress of running out of food and being called gluttonous liars multiple times is not worth anything she offers. Save yourself the stress and use any other catering company for your event!

I was told I was the one to get that day she would just call me before to put me down as she doesn't write the books until end of fall.

Sad because I was TOLD ID HAVE THE DAY. And I have been waiting 7 months! What if I didn't check in? Would she have screwed me even closer to the wedding? She flaked and DO NOT RECOMMEND. NOT VERY PROFESSIONAL AT ALL!

Ciccarelli's -- Coeur d'Alene…read more As someone who has traveled extensively -- including throughout Italy, one of my favorite places on earth -- I do not say this lightly: Ciccarelli's serves some of the finest pizza I have ever eaten. And I mean anywhere. Italy included. There is something almost impossible to describe about truly exceptional pizza. At a certain level, words begin to fail because great pizza is not analyzed... it's experienced. It's the kind of food that causes conversations to stop mid-sentence because everyone at the table suddenly realizes something special is happening. That's Ciccarelli's. I've lived in Coeur d'Alene barely three weeks and my wife and I have already been there three times. At this point, resistance appears futile. Every pizza we've tried has been a masterpiece. Not "really good." Not "our favorite in town." Masterpiece. The crust alone deserves poetry -- blistered, wood-fired perfection with that delicate balance of crispness, chew, char, and tenderness that only happens when people truly understand dough. Every ingredient tastes intentional. Nothing feels thrown together. Every bite -- from the tip of the slice to the outer crust -- is a full gastronomic experience. Favorites so far: THAT'S AMORE -- red sauce, pepperoni, Italian sausage, red onion, black olives & mozzarella. THE SPICY ITALIAN -- spicy red sauce, pesto, Italian sausage, red onions, fresh mozzarella, parmesan & basil. Ridiculously good. THE STELLA -- olive oil base, goat cheese, prosciutto, apricot preserves & honey drizzle. Sweet, savory, luxurious, and somehow perfectly balanced. And the Pizza Margherita... Listen carefully: A Margherita pizza is the ultimate truth serum for a pizza restaurant. You cannot hide behind toppings. It exposes everything -- crust, sauce, cheese, balance, restraint, technique. Ciccarelli's passes that test with flying colors. Their Margherita has become my weekly sustenance pizza. And then... The desserts. Good grief. Most restaurants treat dessert like an afterthought. Ciccarelli's treats it like a sacred continuation of the meal. I am slowly working my way through their dessert offerings, but I keep getting derailed by the BLACK BOTTOM COCONUT CREAM PIE. I have been eating coconut cream pie for over seventy years. Seventy. I have NEVER had anything like this pie. The rich saturation of flavor... the generous texture of real coconut... the black bottom... whatever culinary sorcery is occurring back there needs to be protected by national treaty. It is so good that you could honestly justify visiting Ciccarelli's solely for dessert. Also outstanding: * Piña Colada Cream Pie * Strawberry Shortcake Torte * Napoleon * Cannoli The restaurant itself is immaculate, intimate, warm, and beautifully designed. Seating is limited, however, and deservedly so. My advice? Get there early or go on a weekday if possible. They also offer lovely outdoor seating. And finally, the family behind it all. There is something unmistakable about a place built by people who genuinely love what they do, love each other, and love the experience they are creating for others. You can feel it the moment you walk in. That kind of thing cannot be faked. Ciccarelli's is not merely a restaurant. It's one of those rare places people discover and then quietly hope doesn't become too famous because they still want to get a table. An absolute gem in Coeur d'Alene.
