Yesterday's meal


Yesterday the whole family went out to eat at this restaurant
in S. Lucia del Mela.
It's up in the mountains. Beautiful location.


The whole restaurant was set up for banquets. Must be a busy time.
We were seated on the left side of this room.
There was a huge room upstairs.
A very nice place.


Of course I didn't think to start taking photos of
the food until after the antipasto course.
The next course was this delicious shrimp risotto.
The food was served by the wait staff. They
brought around platters of food and served everyone.


Then we were served pappardelle in a Marsala wine
sauce with mushrooms. It was very good.


Next was the first meat course. This they brought out on plates,
one plate for 2 people. On it were spiedini, sausage, lamp chops and lemons.
This meat was grilled. Delish!


The next meat course was agnello al forno (baked lamb)
with potatoes and carrots.


This was the wine we drank along with water and coke.

After a bit they brought us fruit cups and
then some of us got cake, which I didn't care for.

Then coffee and amaro.
We were all so stuffed! It was a great day even though
We had to miss the Formula One race.

hello JoAnne.. well that is some feast, such a wonderful place by the looks of things.

You will be pleased you missed the F1 race... My team was rubbish and sorry and even though Ferrari finished in the points .. Alonso was not happy..

Looks like it was worth missing the Ferrari mess in Turkey!
