After arriving in Italy and losing our Data Connection with our Ireland phone, we went in search of a wifi spot in the town center to do a little research on where we wanted to go. We stopped into a Pizzeria Ristorante that displayed WiFi on their front window.

We struggled even more with ordering from this Italian restaurant as they spoke even less English than at the Cafe. We ordered a couple espressos and two items that were more similar to each other than we meant them to be.

Jessica ordered the Prosciutto e funghi (which we now know to be tomato, mozzarella, ham, mushrooms) and Nathan ordered the Calzone farcito (which is tomato, mozzarella, ham, carciofini, mushrooms) We should mention that neither one of us are big fans of ham and thought it was the American Prosciutto, so it was quite a surprise when we saw it covering our plates. However, the crusts and sauce were very fresh and tasty and each had an enourmous plate of food for about €5.50, leaving us very full and satisfied.

We did attempt to go back a couple days later for a nice dinner, and were much more successful at ordering a 1/2 Litre of wine, Risotti frutti di mare, and a Diavola pizza with spicy sausage and salami… and little cut up pieces of hot dog, that part was a bit strange.

We never could get the wifi to work, but we did enjoy some tasty Italian dishes.
