This entry is about food...won't appeal to everyone, but our lunch was so good and so simple, we want to remember every morsel and perhaps even try to replicate it at home! Once we set the itinerary for the trip, we look at yelp and trip advisor to see if there are any must-visit places. We are less about high end places, but look for unique family run restaurants. We found one up on the hill where we had our tour and stopped for lunch (Lo Stuzzichino). It was outstanding and highlights the food difference of the region - southern Italy is more about olive oil, fish and lemons. Before you view the photo's below, I can tell you the tomatoes were every bit as good as they look.
OK, while bread was not a main course, it was some of the best bread we have had in a long time and served as a great delivery vehicle for olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Rustic and fresh.
Cantaloupe and prosciutto appetizer: sweet and savory
Traditional caprese, the appetizer Mark has been patiently waiting to enjoy!
Clams and pasta, a new favorite of Mark's. While not a big fan of clams, they give the pasta a wonderful flavor and the dish is very characteristic of southern Italy.
Seabass with sliced tomatoes, Anne's choice at any restaurant
