The Painted Lady,Newberg, OREGON

[flickrset id=”72157621769134841″ thumbnail=”small” overlay=”true” size=”medium”] Located in the Heart of the Willamette Valley wine country. I think the food speaks for itself. Elegant dining, great wine and excellent service.

Eisgrug Brau, Mainz, Germany

[flickrset id=”72157616348813320″ thumbnail=”small” overlay=”true” size=”medium”] A favorite with overnighting airline crews from around the world. The portions are large, beer is great and it’s cheap. What more could you ask for?? I have had better food for a few Euros more but it’s still a fun place.

Fornino Pizza, Williamsburg, Brooklyn NYC

[flickrset id=”72157618642375741″ thumbnail=”small” overlay=”true” size=”medium”] As the sign says “Voted NYC Best Pizza”. I won’t argue with them it is wonderful. Even the wood burning oven has received rave reviews from the other side of the pond. They serve only the finest fresh ingredients. This is the real deal!!! Fornino […]

Il Bacaro, Roma, Italy

[fsg_gallery id=”40″] A charming and intimate dining experience. Food was wonderful and wine list excellent as well. The service is friendly and not rushed. It’s a small place that requires a reservation. Plan on a very elegant and quite evening. I would not recommend this place for young children.

Depuy Canal House, High Falls NY

[flickrset id=”72157603383639578″ thumbnail=”small”] The food is Art. The kitchen is run professionally, unfortunately I can’t say that for the front end.

Taverna Trilussa, Rome, Italy

We have been to Travena Trilussa several times and that alone is saying something. There is a good mix of locals and tourists in this rather large restaurant. The food is solid homestyle Italian and served in very large portions. They have a very nice selection of  Prosciutto as you walk in […]
