Eating out

This, in our experience, is universally good in our area, we have never really had a bad meal and never had anything but excellent local red wine. Please don't be put off by the outside of trattoria or restaurants, the Italians love their food and inside everything is normally smart and clean. Prices obviously differ, and beware fish and steak which is sold by the etto (500 grams), sometimes there is a fright when you get the bill! On the whole, though, prices are far less than the UK and after a couple of weeks

eating the genuine stuff, you'll never want to eat an Italian meal in the UK again!! Wherever you eat, it may well be necessary to book in advance in the summer (you'll find cards for these eateries on the notice boards) and bear in mind that places are closed on different days of the week.

Extremely impressed with the style, comfort and the whole ambience. A really great week, with some fabulous food too.
