    While eating the Faroe Island Salmon, I imagined myself on a dock facing the Atlantic. It truly tasted like the ocean.

    I sipped the Tuscan Sun, then stood up, then danced. It wasn’t just a drink – it was a summer morning in a glass.

    The micro arugula on the Carpaccio Fassona... delicate like wind, sharp like love. Elia, you’re a poet with plates.

    We started with four people, ended up with eight – the Charcuterie Board didn’t last, but the laughter did!

    I told the waiter, “surprise me,” and he brought the Whole Branzino. I was surprised. Glad I was.

    When the Burrata plate arrived, I let out a soft “oooff.” It was like Italy paid my table a visit.
