I’m dreaming again.  I don’t know if I’ll find this trattoria, but I can already feel the ambiance within.

It's the kind of place you’d run into meandering down the cobblestone streets in any city in Italy.
Chianti bottles hung in the doorway.

A random vespa parked out front.

The aroma of garlic, carbonara and truffles wafting through the open restaurant door inviting your palette before you even have time to locate where it’s coming from.

A friendly boisterous ‘Ciao' as you enter, the smell of the bread, the warmth from the kitchen, and the pleasant chatter of happy patrons.

Regardless of where you go or what you order, the food is going to be amazing. It always is.  I prefer suggestions from the waitstaff over choosing from the menu. They always have the inside scoop.

Dining in Italy is different because it’s an event. The waiters are not checking their watches to hurry you off like they do in the US. It’ll take an entire afternoon or an entire evening.

All of the courses, the atmosphere lulling you to a place you can’t bring yourself to leave for hours.

If you’ve never been, trust the table wine. It’s usually quite delicious.

The ground beneath my feet is not cobblestone. And there is an anxiousness as I search about, trying to find my way across the Atlantic.

The fragrance of Europe beckons me like a mysterious lover, and all I want more than anything in the world is to…

What are you dreaming about?

For Andrea, the perfect pairing is fine foods with finer friends. After all, the best memories in life take place around the table. On any given day, her personal menu can be described as fresh, colorful, seasonal, and wholesome. By land or by sea (and not to forget, the right wine!), entertaining serves to nourish both the body and the soul.
