When their family goes out to eat, they frequent another local family-owned restaurant, The Italian Pizzeria lll. The locals know it as IP3. IP3 is owned by brothers Angelo and Vincenzo Marrone who have been serving up authentic Italian pizza in Chapel Hill since 1980. And guess what the Sabouh’s favorite menu option is at IP3.. well, the pizza of course!

 

When venturing out in town, they love to go to This and That in Carrboro which offers an eclectic mix of handcrafted jewelry, pottery, nightlights, greeting cards, journals, Carrboro T-shirts, local art,and a variety of other wacky gadgets and goodies. They also enjoy Chapel Hill Wine Company which offers a huge selection of wines from all over the world.
