FOOD HIGHLIGHT #1 - Coffee & Pastry
While the boys nap, Elli and I head out to find coffee. We locate a random bar in a side-street where a very helpful lady explains each of the pastries to us. We each settle on a cute little piece of caloric craziness, and order coffee.
Verdict: Absolute heaven. The coffee is amazing. The pastries delicious. The atmosphere totally gorgeous. Service super friendly. Great start to Milano food.
FOOD HIGHLIGHT #2 - Pasta and Pizza
Later that day, we all head out to find dinner. The strange thing is that Milan is pretty empty (we're told it's because it's summer) and a lot of shops are closed. We finally find a nice looking restaurant with great atmosphere, and sit down for dinner. The boys order pizza, Elli and I order pasta.
Verdict: Some of the best pasta I've ever eaten. Plus huge glasses of a delicious local red wine. The waiter is super super friendly (and cute, Elli tries to get me to crack onto him until he mentions his 'bambino'). We all get a bit tipsy and find ourselves singing along to the Frank Sinatra music playing in the background. It's a beautiful Italian moment.
Quote of the evening: "That's amoreeee"(Colin, in his best Frank Sinatra impersonation. Which isn't very good. Sorry Col.)
