To anyone reading this: the combination of truffle, goat's cheese and honey is what heaven quite possibly may taste like. Unbelievable. I love those eateries like "Basta" that can only be described as "deluxe bistros"; a bit posh, a bit boheme, very atmospheric, and not at all pretentious. The perfect setting for a special evening with special people! <br />XOXO<br />Michael<br /><br />PS: I thought my first commented got posted, but I think the page crashed on me.

And here's one for you, since you're always in the vicinity anyway: Some years back, a friend of ours in Rome took us to all his favorite places, one of which is "La Montecarlo", a simple Roman pizzeria/trattoria that does the best Roman appetizers in the whole Piazza Navona area. It's located in a little sidestreet called "Vicolo Savelli", and lines start to form after around 7:00 / 8:00 p.m. Anyway, we've been there on both our Rome trips and it was fab. And a colleague I tipped off just came back recently and said he and his gf loved the place. So anyway, in case you don't already know about it, there you go!<br />XOXOXO<br />Michael<br /><br />PS: It's looking like Florence and maybe Milan between Sept. 13 and 20!! Any chance of showing up? Or have you got your girls' weekend going on?Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03933395486332411202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5018595333872770686.post-40678416400297521212010-07-22T21:57:34.157-04:002010-07-22T21:57:34.157-04:00Hi Gretchen

Wonderful report. That place is high on our list -- how fab would it be to see it together! Is it on your route now, or what took you there? Friends of ours will be there in late August -- can't wait to hear what they make of Chueca and the city in general. It's gonna be hot, but they've got a hotel with rooftop pool, so shouldn't be too stifling.<br />Anyway, hope all is well with you, sweety!! (Mykonos was fab -- another spot we'd love to see with you; you'd die, it's so gorgeous.)<br />XOXOXOXO<br />MichaelMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03933395486332411202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5018595333872770686.post-1384373402941697902010-06-29T07:38:28.975-04:002010-06-29T07:38:28.975-04:00Gretchen, I had totally missed this post yours -- ...Gretchen, I had totally missed this post yours -- shame on me, seeing as any Brera tips are particuarly useful in Milan!

Ah, Italy...<br />We'll keep you posted on our Sept. travel plans; Florence is looking good in mid-September, but isn't that when you have your girls' trip? <br />So, it's off to Mykonos, and we would so love to experience a place like that with you one of these days. Well, we did manage St. Tropez together, and several other venues! :-)<br />XOXO<br />MichaelMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03933395486332411202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5018595333872770686.post-13243315889325905822010-06-23T07:27:28.732-04:002010-06-23T07:27:28.732-04:00HI Gretchen

Good for your for totally immersing yourself in the place -- and sharing the experience.<br />Too bad we missed each other in Seattle!

And then we started going through our annuals -- lord almighty...!<br />(And there's a Skoochies reunion on the 15th, and we're not there!

Do you think we'd like Mexico City? We'd certainly love the food! (I'm almost embarrassed to say so but I nearly drool thinking that within 10 days I'll be chowing down at Azteca in Seattle! Honestly: You can't get any decent Mexican food in Germany, and though Azteca's fare obviously caters to American tastes, at least it's 1000 times closer to the real thing than anything you find over here!)<br />XOXO<br />MichaelMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03933395486332411202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5018595333872770686.post-12277158355380467082010-03-30T08:18:35.720-04:002010-03-30T08:18:35.720-04:00This is a great food with different kinds of varie...This is a great food with different kinds of varieties and multiple dishes of various recipes, which are all looking awesome and too sumptuous for sure.<br /><br />Moreover, you must visit Virginia, The Shenandoah Valley where you must see the very marvelous destination to visit Woodruff Inns Resorts.
