Dinner in Venice with the Amberlie, Doug and Claudia











Goodmorning everybody! I have so many pictures and great experiences to share from Venice and Maniago and I thought I would start with food. I mean I always seem to start with food eh?So last thursday night Vince and I, Amberlie, Doug and Claudia headed to a restaurant called "Enoiteca Mascareta" in the sestire di castello. We sat at an old wooden table with a bench on the end for Claudia. The owner/waiter was kind and accommodating as we shuffled through the menu deciding what to order first. The restaurant is also a wine shop so of course we ordered a few bottles. Doug ordered a tasty bottle of Cabernet Franc and us a bottle a crisp white Soave. Later Vince and I shared a large antipasti fish plate and Doug had a melt in your mouth lasagna bolognese. Amberlie had an aubergine parmesan and was not disappointed. How they made the aubergines taste so good I have no idea. The night was capped off with a few glasses of formidable grappa and then it was time for bed! :)
I hope you enjoy the pictures. I especially love the natural look of Amberlie Doug and Claudia in the first and second one, what do you think? Do you love natural or posed pictures?
Love and Hugs.
