The
most interesting restaurants in Italy are not in the cities, but rather
in small villages and in the countryside.
Two such restaurants, not far from the villa, and on the road to
Bologna, are the Ristorante "44ยบ Parallel" and the Ristorante "La
Cugna".

Located off the "beaten path", these
restaurants seldom (if ever) receive American clients. So it was
not suprising that we were treated like royalty. The menu was
authentic Italian, the quality of the food was excellent, and the cost
much more reasonable than at the "tourist traps" in the big cities.
When we left, the owners (of both restaurants) presented each couple
with a gift bottle of wine.
At "Spanish Night" at La Cugna (which included "all-you-can-drink
Sangria), some of our party joined in the after dinner entertainment
(too mich Sangria, ya think?).
