Il Molo – A Dining Experience in Vicenza

April 27, 2017 By Helen Page Leave a Comment

Il Moro - Vicenza Restaurant

Il Molo, or The Pier, has great seafood with Sicilian Flavours: After three weeks of travelling in northern Italy, we were looking forward to a change away from ‘traditional Italian cuisine’.

Smitten by Ferrari at the Museo Ferrari in Maranello

September 21, 2016 By Helen Page Leave a Comment

Museo Ferrari, Maranello

The Maranello Museo Ferrari is a Car-Lover’s Heaven: I love the sight of Ferrari cars but I don’t usually get overly-excited about them. Their price tags put them totally out of range of any toys that I may want so I don’t think about them at all. However, a visit to the Museo Ferrari in […]

November 12, 2015 By Helen Page Leave a Comment

Cantina del Brunello

CANTINA DEL BRUNELLO IS THE PLACE FOR BRUNELLO AND OTHER FINE TUSCAN WINES: It’s been two years since we first discovered Federico’s Cantina del Brunello when we were visiting the nearby Basilica Cateriniana San Domenico in Siena.

Taverna di San Giuseppe, Siena

FRESH TRUFFLES AND PORCINI ARE SOME OF THE FOOD WE LOVE AT TAVERNA DI SAN GIUSEPPE: When searching for a place to eat in Siena, it’s tempting to just pick one of the many restaurants on Piazza del Campo for the pleasant atmosphere around Siena’s famous “square”.

A Pizza Experience at Pizzeria da Baffetto

April 23, 2014 By Helen Page Leave a Comment

Baffetto Roma Pizzeria

WHEN IN ROME, EAT PIZZAS THE WAY THE ROMANS DO: Baffetto is our favourite pizza restaurant in Rome. This long-established pizzeria makes pizzas the true Italian way, with really thin crust and a very tasty sauce. In spite of being a no-frills pizzeria, Baffetto is nevertheless legendary and there’s usually a long queue of people […]
