20130815-111056 AM.jpg
Osteria di Passignano is locate in a small town of Badi a Passignano, that is about half hour from Florence. It’s speciality is the big selection of wines from whole Italy and only from natural wineries! The interior is very simple, and the food… Well, the food… DELICIOUS! This is like one of the best restaurants in Italy! The food is typical Tuscan, but with a modern touch. The meat is delicate, and the pasta is all hand made. This place will not only give you a amazing culinary experience, but also beautiful memories of Dolce Vita vibes!

Artichokes and Fruits in Rome

20130419-094911 PM.jpg
In the Jewish district of Rome that is know for the Jerusalem artichokes I tried this great speciality- I was shocked with it’s taste! The inside was really delicious and the outside was fried and oily. In the restaurant I ate these (sorry I don’t remember the name!) you could even see how Roman’s peel artichokes and beans. And what’s worth to mention is that the bulbs of these artichokes are as big as head!

And the real Dolce Vita food was at feet of Colosseum- the fruity market! For sure it was a inspiration for Dolce Gabbana this summer! The colour blast and fruits… So juicy they look!

From Rome With Love

20130419-090709 PM.jpg
I’m in Rome for a while and I have a real spring blast! Flowers, warm weather, art, beautiful architecture… So Dolce Vita! On the Spanish Stairs the flowers already bloomed. It’s so warm I just can’t describe it! On Via Condotti the Prada and Dolce Gabbana already have new fresh windows… It’s just amazing. And the buildings around… These religious details and paintings on the ancient walls of houses, fruits, greenery (this building that is whole in leafs is mind blowing!) and lots of orange around. My favourite colour!
