Great pizza 5 stars
Restaurant Review: Pizzeria Impero
Part of Topic Out-of-body dining experiences

Excellent gelato 5 stars
Café Review: Gelateria Pampanin
Part of Topic Out-of-body dining experiences

I'm a big fan of Italian ice cream, and we were told to go to the Pampanin if we wanted to try the best gelato in the northern part of Italy. We weren't disappointed - certainly the choices were... [more]

Restaurant Review: La Taverna
Part of Topic Out-of-body dining experiences

I wasn't a tremendous fan of this restaurant, even though it came highly recommended from several people (which made me think perhaps they had some incentive). It wasn't awful, but it wasn't... [more]

Restaurant Review: Genki
Part of Topic Out-of-body dining experiences

After almost two weeks of Italian food, I was ready for something different. The staff at the hotel suggested Genki for good Japanese food, so we decided to try it. It was good, but not great,... [more]

Restaurant Review: Tre Marchetti
Part of Topic Out-of-body dining experiences

Everyone kept going on and on about this restaurant, so finally we gave in and tried it. On our first attempt, we were asked to come back later because the dining room was so busy, so we left it... [more]

Café Review: Caffe Dante
Part of Topic Out-of-body dining experiences

This was a charming little café in a beautiful square that was quiet and relaxing in the afternoon. We sat down and we pretty much had the place to ourselves, and it was kind of sheltered from... [more]

Restaurant Review: Bottega Dei Vini
Part of Topic Out-of-body dining experiences

This place is like Mecca if you love wine. I wasn't too into the idea about drinking alcohol in the heat, but my friend loves Italian wine and convinced me to go inside for a glass. The selection... [more]

Very odd 3 stars
Restaurant Review: Silver Star
Part of Topic Out-of-body dining experiences

This place is a very strange combination of old Texas themes and Moulin Rouge style entertainment. Allegedly the food is Tex-Mex, but being a Texas native myself I can assure you that's not the... [more]

This is a great place to get a wide variety of local dishes, but be warned it can get quite expensive unless you're very careful about your choices. I had the salmon fettucine, and it was... [more]

Part of Topic Out-of-body dining experiences

This is an old church building that has been converted into a pizza restaurant. The food was good, but the atmosphere left something to be desired. The pizzas were tasty, though nothing so out of... [more]

Great for a pre-opera dinner 4 stars
Restaurant Review: Rubiani
Part of Topic Out-of-body dining experiences

This place was classy without being too pretentious. We had a reservation on opera night, and they took that into consideration when timing the courses. We opted for the set menu, which was a... [more]
