But first, Kelly (on the left), Violet and Jessica met me at Far Niente, that wonderful Italian restaurant just a few doors down from the Alex.
Can you believe I didn’t take photographs of the food? That’s a first….guess I’ll have to tell you.
Everything was for the table:
Ceasar salad, Fried Zucchini, Fritto Misto (a medley of fried seafood… Yummy!) Bianchi e Neri Faraci (black & white pasta with calamari & peas in a spicy tomato sauce)….. and Veal Piccata. Great ordering job Violet & Jessica!
