Compleanno

For my birthday (compleanno) last week David took me out for a romantic dinner to a very nice restaurant named Le Grotte del Funaro. In medieval times it was the rope makers workshop. Sadly the camera battery died soon after we arrived, so I only snapped a few pictures.


We had dinner outside and watched a beautiful sunset. Everything was delicious of course!!! We shared an antipasto of assorted meats and bruschetta, and a primi piatto of  Umbrichelli con pancetta, finocchio e pomodori pachino. David had a Bistecchine di cinghiale (wild boar) and I had Tagliata di manzo (steak). We shared a chocolate dessert that I was able to take one picture of. After dinner we took a long walk around Orvieto to help digest the wonderful meal. This was the first time in the 4 years we have been together that we were in the same country for my birthday, and it was perfect!
