Italian Dinner with Barbara at Tre Corvi

I promised I'd update, so here it is:

The restaurant, i Tre Merli -which translates to 3 crows-, was down by the port so we had quite a walk ahead of us. But it wasn't nearly as cold as it has been, and Barbara took us a new route that went by one of the elevators in the city. Yes, you read that correctly. There is an outdoor elevator, circa who knows when -made completely of stone-, that you pay 1 euro to buy a ticket and ride instead of taking the 3,456, 789 stairs. Haha!! It was remarkable, but a couple of us chose to walk instead. We arrived at the bottom at the same time (about 10 minutes later), so that just goes to show you how far down the elevator had to come!!

So, back to dinner. The restaurant was beautiful and had a medival look to it and the meal was FANTASTIC!!

1st course: Some sort of grilled and fried cheeses...yeah. I heart cheese and this was by far the most amazing cheese I've ever had. Oooo, weeeee.

1st course

2nd course: Pasta, which was some pesto and then potato and cheese stuffed pasta. Incredible.

3rd course: The entree. Some type of fish with nuts on top as well as the juciest black olives I've ever had. Mmmm, good!!

4th course: Finally, dessert. Oooo. I don't know what it was. It was like gelato, but not cold. Semifriedo is it's given name. And it had chocolate syrup on top. I ate it all.

And at the very end they brought out an espresso for everyone. I obliged.

We had a great time, and we were all able to sit at one long table together (about 20 of us). We came back to the villa (after a lovely 25-30 minute brisk walk....HA!) and have been relaxing all evening.

Buona Notte!!! :)
