Our best Italian Meals...so far....

Milan is a very, very expensive city...think New York or San Francisco...the food is great here, but prices are a bit crazy...6 euros for a Diet Pepsi ??  (but well worth it , right ??!!)

         We had a wonderful meal in a small osteria after we went to see the Last Supper.  I had paccheri (tube shaped pasta) stuffed with buffalo milk ricotta and crab meat...oh yum !  Joe had the "business lunch" which consisted of fish, potatoes, tomato sauce, spaghetti, and mussels...a lot of food...no wonder there is an afternoon siesta !

my artistically presented pasta...and me doing the "happy food dance"...

the "business lunch"...
We also had a lovely dinner at a small restaurant near the Park Hyatt...


charming !!



Our last meal was our most inexpensive...and very enjoyable !  Our taxi driver recommended the Chicago-style pizza at Spontini...a standing only place on the corner...yummy...


note the Diet Pepsi in the background...only 3 euros here...what a bargain !

       And for dessert ?...a work of art !


Called the "happy cone", it had chocolate, hazelnut, and caramel gelato topped with hot fudge and whipped cream...oh yeah, I was happy !
