Florentine Dinners

Not only did we eat 3 incredibly delicious dinners in Florence, but we got some entertainment with them as well. One restaurant sat all of 16 people inside, with one server (the son), one cook (the mom), and one person making sure everything was just as it should be (the dad). Our server turned into our friend, recommending what we should all order, helping me with my Italian, and working his way into all of our photos. The next evening, we were treated to some live impromptu music as one of the patrons, a friend of the twin brothers who run the restaurant, decided to play a little airhorn while another friend played some guitar, singing his little 5'4" Italian heart out. While the locals saw it as just another night out, it was the quintessential dinner for some Americans doing their best to take part in the true Italian experience…
