There is a big scrawl in my note book surrounded by a double square. It lies half way through notes on the meal I had last Sunday night and reads 'I Golosi' which I think translates as a glutton.
Not sure how this came up in conversation and whether it was directed at me or not. I was only polite in having five courses; no one said only pick a couple! This was the first meal of my Italian trip and a superb intro to top-notch local cuisine. The restaurant Da Gigetto is in Maine, Treviso.
I have posted a series of pictures of the restaurants acclaimed and superbly eclectic cellar on spittoon. Nooks, crannies, oddities and antiques really does not describe the experience. But the meal was upstairs in an equally strange (although delightful) room - a private dining room partially decorated like a Roman villa (lower picture).
In the cellar spontino (snack) of thinly sliced lardo on warm crustini; deliciously unhealthy but excellent with a glass of Bisol Prosecco.
