Dinner in Ravenna

[london1967]

Monday evening was our last night in Italy and we had a 'proper' dinner to end the holiday, and also to celebrate (2 days early) our 14th anniversary.

We went to the very popular and lively Ca' de Vèn housed in a 15th century palazzo, just a stone-throw away from Dante's tomb and Piazza del Popolo.

Happy anniversary. English on the menu in Italy? I haven't been to Italy in more than 40 years but I do remember wondering what in the heck I was ordering and eating. English would have been a great idea! :)

Thank you!

Yes things have moved on in the last 15 years or so - now many restaurants in the tourist destinations have English (and French and German) translations.
Of course not quite so common off the beaten track!

The dinner looks gorgeous, as do the surroundings. But your toast to Adrian is what will linter in my mind. You two are darlings. Happy Anniversary.

My, my, my! What a beautiful dinner in an amazing setting. Perfect for a happy anniversary celebration. :-)

To be honest, I've never seen tortelli (tortellini, yes) but I want some right now.

The dessert appears to be a lightly burned creme brulée. Was it? And how was it?

Please excuse me while I lick the screen. :-)

Tortelli are just large tortellini and tortelloni are even bigger (although the classification is not rigorous - the ones we had could have been tortelloni).

It was crema catalana, and very yellow! And very yummy!

ALL that food looks wonderful!

Happy 14th anniversary!
