Dinner in the Plazza de Signoria


Ciao!

Our first Real Florentine Dinner happened this last Friday. We feasted in the Plazza de Signoria in view of famous (and infamous) sculptures by Cellini and Giambologna (seen in the images from the last post). We had bread and oil, cheese and spinach tortellini, herb-roasted chicken and sausage, potati (french fries!), salad and finished with our first experience with gelatto! It was definitely not as I had expected--it was soooo awesome and delicious.

Following dinner we were invited out to clubs, but were so tired from the day and large meal so we walked back to our apartment and enjoyed a night walk in the city and stopped at a few sites, including a public church. Made it home safely... though very late in the evening.

Some pictures from the walk home:

Dante's House
The Belltower of the Duomo and the Moon
