17 Courses, 2 Bottles of Greco Nero, Champagne and Grapa. This is how one spends the first of their last 11 days in Italy.
La Locanda del Capitano was our theater for a 4 hour dining performance as the Michelin star chef Giancarlo Polito entertained us with course after course of Modernist Italian Cuisine. Tony, Andrea, Shiloh and I were the recipients of this magical meal, and it was infinity spectacular. The four of us had a date night Christmas dinner that I’m certain won’t soon be forgotten while our kids hung back at the house watching Christmas movies and eating risotto. It was an absolutely perfect night and I am already starting to feel the woes of Italy withdrawal.
We all woke up late, the Camerotas spent the night at our place where Shi had put together and Elmau like buffet breakfast, baked some pumpkin pies and watched The Santa Claus. Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas. We are all doing our family Christmas dinner together on Friday and the menu is looking brilliantly gluttonous. No doubt my New Years diet is going to have to be more extreme than I’d originally planned.
