I used to go to an Italian restaurant that served triangles of fried bread (Mother's Pride) with anchovies to be mashed thereon. It was fúcking mint.

Worst pizza I've ever had in my life - Verona, Italy. True story. Filled with locals the restaurant was, heaving with 'em.

In fact, one osteria in Verona aside, I have never eaten well in Italy.

Well. Erm. I don't know what to say, really.

You go to places with laminated menus. In English. With pictures :-(

Not really the place you want to stay in TO, Pat, unless things have changed in the 22 years since I left.

Yorkville. Oh yes. :nod:

Italy has ome of the finest food in the world. Venice is where it is a biggest rip-off but you can eat well even in Venice.

Too many memorable places to remember more than a fraction, but:

Venice - Acciughe (a ciccheteria), Do Mori, La Caravella
Lake Garda - La Speranzina
Verona - Il Desco
Sorrento - Il Buco
Amalfi - La Caravelle
Genoa - Tre Merli
Florence - Villa San Michele
Portofino - Hotel Splendido
Parma - Angiol d'Or

And a million etceteras
