Continuing daughter L's trip to Italy, please see my parts 1 to 3 posts earlier.
It so happened that my sister and her husband from California would be arriving in Florence on vacation the day before L was leaving so it was fortuitous that they were able to meet for dinner that night. My sister had gotten a fantastic restaurant recommendation from a friend and it did not disappoint. The party of 5 were introduced to this tagliatelli dish that was flambed in a cheese wheel and topped with shaved truffles. I've never had truffles myself but it is an expensive mushroom. They had great conversation and it was so great to meetup with family in an exotic location. Afterward they walked to a delicious gelato bar near their airbnb accommodations.

Stay tuned for part 5, the final post in this series!
Sounds like they had a great vacation. The food looks fantastic. Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteIn a foreign non-english speaking country, I would be very nervous with restaurants as I wouldn't know what I was even ordering
ReplyDeleteI love your posts as I just came back from Italy! I tried restaurants there and all were great. Re: Adam's comment above- everybody spoke English!
ReplyDeleteAnd we tried gelato almost at all our stops.
Oh, the food in Italy!
ReplyDeleteI am glad L was able to meet with her aunt.
ReplyDeleteIt looks so delicious! Good stuff that they were able to meet up like that.
ReplyDeleteWhat great timing! How wonderful that they had some time together in such a beautiful place...
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that they were able to meet up. The tagliatelli with shaved truffles looked amazing. I have never tried truffles either. They used to sell them at one of the fancier supermarkets that I never go into normally, but I kept checking it out as it was a fascinating experience just to look at these and those prices. They don't sell those truffles any more, I honestly don't think people could afford them as the prices were out of sight. They were under lock and key as it was :)
ReplyDeletehaven't had truffles either, too expensive lol one day maybe
ReplyDeleteMeeting her aunt before leaving in Florence would be quite fun and pleasant event for your daughter
ReplyDeleteGlad they got to meet up. Crazy over-priced for the mushroom. Nuts. And I think, that's also part of the attraction for some. Not me. I'm far too cheap!
ReplyDeleteThank you, your article is very good
