SICILY PETRALIA SOPRANA (EVENING) APRIL 29

Back at the hotel we said our thanks and goodbyes to Giovanni.





After the hike Barry and I were in need of a beer! At Bar Lombardo we each had 
a couple of Moretti's before heading back to the hotel.


Before dinner I snapped up a couple of evening shots of the valley





We had, dare I say it, another delicious meal. This time the time the restaurant, Trattoria da Salvatore, was more of a local favourite. Not as upscale as some but a little gem in my mind. All the dishes were served "family style". Lots of antipasto dishes followed by pizza laced with anchovies, yum, yum. Red Wine and Averno to finish. 


Tonie calling for more booze!


Barry asleep on Sheila's shoulder






 This what eating too many anchovies does to a person!


The Proprietor, his wife and daughter ran this exceptional restaurant.











Location: 90026 Petralia Soprana PA, Italy

In the evening we braved the crowds in the shopping district and arrived at Il Ghiottone Raffinato for our first dinner together. The Restaurant's Chef was Tom's cousin and we were treated to a superb classic Italian 4 course meal with generous amounts of Vino. The Chef's wife, a talented artist, gave each member of the group a small wooden plaque depicting beautiful scenes of Sicily.
