Restaurant Review From Italy

This was a friend's recent dining experience during their travels in Italy. They asked that I post their review so if anyone is heading to Pescara, they will have a wonderful place to eat.
I am happy to oblige!





Magnifico! Modern restaurants try to be a little different, and a lot memorable - Enozioni Wine Bar in Pescara, on the Abruzzo coast of Italy achieves both, and beautifully. The food is exceptional – the beef with onion confit on crushed romano is a delicate delight; the truffled wild mushroom pasta rustic and rich; the duck in Sicilian citrus unusual but splendid; but the triumph is the maialano – tiny ribs of suckling pig in a green peppercorn sauce. The wine list is as long as one might expect in a wine bar, but a lot higher in quality and range; but you needn’t bother. The patron, Gabriele, will provide a different wine for each course; a native of Pescara, he has worked in smart restaurants in Italy and Provence (but is proudest of his own Abruzzo produce). He serves wines that are intelligently suited, and generously poured. Two people can dine in magnificence for around €100, and they should – don’t go near Pescara without visiting
Enozioni!

Photo du Jour - from Belgium

Our friends returned from Belgium and surprised us with a box full of goodies.

I especially like the look of the chocolate granules that are sprinkled on toast (good way to start the day if you ask me) and the smelly little block of cheese that has been aged in beer. Yum!
We're super excited to try everything.

They own one of the most exquisite chambres d'hôtes you'll ever see. If you need a place to stay in the Minervois (sorry, but our house is too small) you will fall in love with them and their B & B, Sur les Remparts. Pin It

Laughing all the way to the café

The ban begins today!
I'll actually be able to enjoy une noisette in the closed up cafés during the winter without choking on cigarette smoke.

The question is...will they actually enforce the new law down here in these little towns and villages?

Photo du Jour

Just before we left our friend's New Year's Eve party. He balanced the clock on the chandelier so we could watch the time while dancing.
I wanted to get a photo at midnight but was too lazy to go upstairs, find my purse under a massive pile of coats, dig my camera out and snap the picture.

Happy New Year! Pin It
