Nightime is the right time...

The moon is up and Verona's lights are sparkling - time to head up the hill for dinner at the restaurant

Saturday                                                                                    October 16, 2021

An enjoyably long and interesting day soaking up the culture of Verona.  But now it's time to soak up some wine, olive oil and tasty local food.  We're ready to walk up the hill to the Cortile San Mattia restaurant for dinner.

This is the pretty cobblestone road between our apartment and the restaurant of the agriturismo.

The restaurant is lit up for the evening meal, including an outdoor fireplace and standing fire pit (on the left).

An attractive decor - the rustic theme with checks and wood seems very appropriate for a "holiday farm."

Big smiles as I contemplate my wine selection,  I think I've earned an amarone red tonight.

Appetizer - potato torte with creamy gorgonzola sauce and sprouts and shredded radicchio.

Slow cooked pork ribs with sweet and sour swiss chard

Mushroom and root vegetable strudel, with tagglio cheese sauce and roasted pumpkin

A house - made amaro after dinner.  Tasted great - like the herbs of the fields.

Back home to our apartment

Moon's almost full; on its right are Jupiter and Mars

Goodnight and sleep tight.
