A gorgeous sunny day in Venice walking the canals. I have come down with a really heavy cold (yuk) but the trip to the Farmacia has helped enormously. Not sure that you are supposed to take pseudoephedrine with red wine but I am in Italy. We had one of life’s truly memorable dinners tonight at the lovely Riviera restaurant on the water across from our hotel. The owner Mr Cremonini, an exceptionally cool, cravat wearing older man with fantastic red glasses and a chopstick artfully through his stylish pony tail greeted us like we were family. We thoroughly enjoyed the exquisite pasta and the best tiramisu that I have ever eaten. I am so pleased that I took a little time to find out where to eat as it really lived up to its reputation as one of Venice’s finest restaurants. The service was fantastic, the beautiful wine chosen by our waiter a highlight – it really was sublime and was a reminder of how very lucky and privileged we are. Added to the small list of truly wonderful dining experiences.
