    Ristorante Novecento is located at Hotel Rovereto just across the road from Hotel Leon D'oro where we were staying. It is situated approximately 200 metres from the Central Railway Station in the heart of Rovereto. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with impressive lighting. The restaurant is comparatively large and has seating capacity for at least 100 diners. The restaurant's services are impeccable it has to be said.

    The following were the set dinner menu (3 courses) in Italian which we ordered:-
    1) Pennette all'amatriciana (photo 2)
    2) Faraona al forno/Polenta - Polenta (photo 3)
    3) Semifreddo della casa con salsa al cioccolato (photo 4)

    Excellent Chef's Appetizer

    Ristorante La Fayette is located at Grand Hotel Boston, just beside Grand Hotel Terme where we were staying. These two hotels are two different entities by themselves and under separate management. We had our dinner nightly at the restaurant during our four night stay in Chianciano Terme. The set menu is not the same every night. Even the Chef's Appetizer is not the same every night! The food is considered good and delicious and the services are impeccable. We had really enjoyed our dinner in the restaurant especially the impressive Chef's Appetizer which really gave you lots of appetite.

    The following are the set dinner menu for Tuesday night:-
    1) Chef's Appetizer buffet - eat as much as you want (photo 1)
    2) Spelt soup (photo 2)
    3) Cannelloni pasta Tuscany style (photo 3)
    4) Roast pork loin with French fries (photo 4)
    5) Dessert (photo 5)

    Osteria S. Niola Pizzeria-Osteria Ristorante: What an Excellent Lunch in Tolentino (Marches)

    After an esasberating journey to reach Tolentino because of a detour along a major road, we finally arrived and were quite hungry.

    So, we found Osteria S. Nicola Pizza Osteria and ate lunch. They were offering a buffett with various foods, and since Allan loves trying new and unusual items, he naturally chose the buffett (4.00 Euro), and I chose the Brick-Oven Pizza with tomatoes and Basil (4.50 Euros).

    I also had an Insalata Mista (Mixed Salad) which was large enough to share with Allan ($4.00 Euro).

    As usual, we were charged for the bread basket (1.50x2=3.00 Euro). Much to our surprise and delight, this bread basket had several different and delicious choices...bread, breadsticks, and crackers.

    We also ordered aqua naturale (water without gas) that cost 1.0Euro.

    The total bill was 16.50 Euro plus we left a tip.

    I wanted to be sure to see The Church of S. Nicola, so I left to walk up the street. Allan stayed to pay for the lunch. Unknown to me, it took over 20 minutes for them to take his money!

    I kept wondering where he was so I returned to our car, and he was not there; thus, I returned to the restaurant, but did not see him. I went back to the car, and about ten minutes later, he came to the car. Allan, unfortunately, did not see the wonderful shine of Saint Nicholas.

  • Trattoria
    Trattoria "Leoncino", Vicenza
    by croisbeauty
    Trattoria "Leoncino" is one of the best restaurants in area of Vicenza. It is situated in Altavilla Vicentina, a few kilometres is approaching to the city of Vicenza. Trattoria isn't a fancy looking restaurant, however, it is a place where you can enjoy in excellent food.
    The working hour is from 12:00 to 15:00, and from 20:00 to 23:00.
    It is closed on Sunday and Monday.

    The first dish I had was "Tavola freda", with various kind of seafood,
    - then I ordered "Baccala al Vicentino" (cod-fish with hard corn-mush), which is the famous speciality of Vicenza, known in the whole Italy,
    - after baccala you must order frizzante type of wine, my suggestion is Pinot,
    - at the end I had esspresso.
    The price I paid, euros 25,00

  • Trattoria Tre Marchetti, Verona - Italy
    Trattoria Tre Marchetti,
    Verona
    by croisbeauty
    Trattoria "Tre Marchetti da Barca" is the best restaurant in Verona and one of the best in whole Italy. It is tiny, cosy, full of people and noisy restaurant.
    The restaurant offers very traditional and home-based type of food. Here you can taste Italy "on the table".
    I suggest you to book your place in advance!
    During the Summer Opera Season it is open from 12:00 to 04:00.

    This place is the icon of Verona and the Veneto cuisine, it is a mom and grandma cuisine!!!
    My suggestion:
    - bigoli - fantastic pasta made by hand,
    - pig shrimps with beans,
    - white wine from Custozza.
    It is very expensive restaurant, from 40 - 60 euros, but it worth all money you spend.

    BE SURE TO SEE ALL THE HIDDEN PHOTOGRAPHS!

    Allan and I really enjoy our delicious meal at Ristorante - Pizzeria "La Loggia" in Urbania. It was recommended by the girl at the Tourist Bureau, and we were glad that she told us about it!

    Our total bill was 41 Euro and included the Bread and Breadsticks, Insalata Mista, Asparagi Parmigiena, Passatelli porcini, 4 formaggi Pizza, Costine d'agnello, One bottle of Acqua Natural, and Vino Rosso (1/4 lt.) and Vino Bianco (1/4 lt.).

    Allan and I shared the local pasta (hand-made noodles with grated cheese, milk, egg, and the Portocino Cheese in a delicious sauce. But, we both felt that the noodles were way too thick!

    Allan really enjoyed the Asparagus with cheese and butter, and I loved the Insalata Mista (mixed salad) that was so huge that Allan and I shared it.

    I had the Quatro Cheese (4-cheeses: the usual cheeses plus blue cheese and what they call "soft cheese") Allan had a few pieces, and he, too, thought that it was delicious.

    Allan also had Lamb Chops with Rosemary, and he raved about how good it was

    At the end of the meal, they served us (for free) in iced glasses, a lemon cello sipping liquer That was the perfect ending to a perfect meal!

    This is another suggestion what to eat in Italy when too hot. You'll feel like sated and yet very relaxed in your stomach.

    The dish you see is called "riso con gamberoni" - rice with crab-fish. Yes, it is very light dish but in the same time fed up and cheap. This kind of the dish can be ordered in most of the Italian restaurants.

    To those of you, however, who like to eat, no metter if hot summer day, this is an alternative. The steak is big enough, succulent but light at the same time.

    This is "cotoletta di maiale alla grilla senza contorni" - roasted pork steak. You have to admit, it looks very nice, succulent and belive me it was very tasteful.

    An enchanting evening was experienced on the 2nd night that Allan & I spent in Ascoli. At first we were disappointed because we wanted to eat at Trattoria Laliva which was suggested by the rave review of fellow VT friend, IandSmith. However, I had another suggestion from an Australian, Gavin Crawford, who had also visited Ascoli.

    Located upstairs at 36 Piazza del Popolo we entered Ristorante Tornasacco.

    It's an incredible location overlooking the beautiful Piazza del Popolo; secondly, the interior is lovely with local art & stained glass. Now, this was a much more expensive dinner than the night before, but it was well worth the money.

    Note: Pane- coperto of 2 Euro per person is charged- bread. We found this to be "par for the course" in Italy.

    Besides the bread (which we dipped in wonderful Virgin Olive Oil & grated cheese), we were served sparkling wine to start the evening. Allan & I shared a bottle of Rosso Piceno Superiore, which we had read about in several travel books. It cost 14 Euro & was quite mellow & delicious.

    We always ask for "Aqua Naturale" or water without gas. The antipasto was quite an experience as it was prepared tableside via a portable trolley that held haunches of prosciutto, various sausages (including wonderful salami), & cheeses. We were also served marinated/pickeled vegetables such as onions, artichokes.

    Our Primo Piatto was Taglionini with Lamb Ragout.
    Our Secondo Piatto was Fritto Misto (lamb cutlet, zucchini, eggplant, artichoke, olives stuffed with tuna (breaded & friend, & cheese that was covered with flour, egg & sugar,then fried!
    Our Contorno was Insalata Mista (Mixed Salad)
    We also had the local special of Pecorino Formaggio (cheese) & honey.
    Next came Frutta (fruit)
    Finally, we were served Dolce (dessert) of Crema Pinoli tart, served with vino passito & lemon.
    Dolce deserves good Italian expresso, so that ended a fabulous meal here at Ristorante Tornasacco!

    PHOTOGRAPHS:

    a. The windows of Tornasacco looked out over the beautiful Piazza del Popolo. The curtains made the scene more like a dream on this Romantic night in Ascoli Piceno.

    Gelateria Patagonia is a superb ice cream parlour located at Via Mazzini in the historic centre of Verona. Delicious and mouth-watering ice creams of different flavours are in great demand in the city of Verona especially during the warm summer months. We understand that the ice cream parlour is owned by the South Americans as the name Pantagonia suggests!

    The parlour is so beautifully and colourfully decorated with posters and paintings from South America especially on its walls and ceilings that it looks more like an art gallery. They also deal in various kinds of dessert crepes as advertised on the board at the entrance. Please flip through our photographs above to see this lovely ice cream parlour and its decorations!

    Chocolate, cherry and vanilla ice cream sounds perfect. Sample the various dessert and original crepes which are also highly recommended.
