Oh boy, Stoke in Easton got us all pumped up with excitement! Two of us had been here before, and we couldn't wait to dive back into the deliciousness and experience it as Three People. It was a Tuesday night, so not really crowded or busy, and the hostess seated us right away at a hightop near the bar. We were ready for a feast of epic proportions! But wait, where was our server? We might as well have grown a beard and watched the grass grow while we waited for him to make his grand appearance—17 minutes, to be exact. Thank goodness we weren't starving and hangry (yet), having nibbled on some light fare earlier. Now, in this case, we realize it wasn't entirely his fault. We noticed that he was dealing with a table full of multiple gift card chaos from a large party behind us; we could see that and we tried to be understanding of that. But come on, other staffers, don't just stroll around, chatting with each other, checking your phones, and walking by us. While our server was busting his butt trying to finish up, we could also see you doing nothing… step up and save your fellow server from a sea of frustrated glances! Teamwork, folks, teamwork! 🎉🍽️🤝

Finally, though, like a knight in shining apron, our server arrived, bowing apologetically. And we were cool with it - no hard feelings, man. Now that you’re here, let’s get to it! A slow and rocky start couldn't dent our spirits, and boy, were we in for a treat! We kicked off our cocktail order with "The Stoke," a magical concoction of house made pineapple gin, black pepper, Prosecco, and elderflower—a sip of pure enchantment! What a wonderful mixture of pure delight! Next up, the Jalapeño Margarita—no sweetness, just the glorious essence of jalapeño meatiness. We were wishing for a fiery punch with this one, but it was more on the garden-fresh and tangy side—quite the tongue-tickler. We were won over, so good on ya, Stoke. 🍍🍸🌶️

But hold on, folks, brace yourselves for the gnocchi! O.M.G. the House Made Potato GNOCCHI. We felt like we stumbled upon a long-lost Italian cousin—smoked gnocchi that was warm, squishy yet crisp on the edges. It was a gorgeously presented small plate with the gnocchi combined with perfectly cooked asparagus and wild mushrooms, sitting atop baby arugula and this truffle cream. We can't. We just can't. And yet we would over and over again. No wonder it’s listed first on their Small Plates list. This is a MUST DISH. 🍽️😋🇮🇹

And then there was the Funghi Bianco pizza—mozzarella, mushrooms, caramelized onions and that same truffle cream, literally a divine dish fit for the gods! One of us was so moved by its perfection, she broke into prayer using tongue we've never heard before and her eyes rolled back in her head. Yes, we are that animated when we taste and review food. Good flavors will do that after two tasty cocktails. 🍕🙏😄

Finally, the Margarita pizza—fresh, tangy, rustic, and down-to-earth. It's like they conjured this pizza magic with just three ingredients. And that crust. Perfect simplicity at its finest. 🍕🍅👌

Stoke, you had us swooning, praying, and savoring every bite. Once the initial slow dance was over, you wowed us with your culinary prowess. We're ready to come back for more—magical cocktails, amazing food, and service that found its rhythm. 🎉🍸🍕
