Day 6 in Italy - Gubbio and then came BELLONA

Thursday 23 August - 23rd day of my holiday

Dinner tonight was at Bellona - a place recommended by Bernie where the owner is 'werid' and he tells you what to eat. It was fantastic. An old villa on a farm with huge rooms set up with tables and chairs on sandstone floor with stone walls with interesting features of small clay sculptures of faces within the stonework, different sized bricks and other stone cemented in.

We had the best meal ever ...
Antipasto which consisted of proscuitto draped over honey dew melon, Bruschetta with a tomatoe mix; another with zucchinni and pizza with real tomato sauce, Parmesan cheese which was smooth and cheddary;
Minestrone with buckwheat - this dish was more substance than soup
Farro - a legume done up like fried rice
Pasta - Taglatellie with a tomatoe sauce
chicken - and salad
Sweets - cherie had tiramasu, i had anglaise with berry sauce and john had lemon biscotte
capucinnos and latte machiata to finish
