Rick Steves, on Il Santo Bevitore: “Lit like a Rembrandt painting...[this restaurant] serves creative modern Tuscan cuisine at Ddressy tables. They’re enthusiastic about pairing quality produce from the area with the right wine.”

Rick Steves, on “Ristorante Belforte”, “Ristorante Belforte serves a fine blend of traditional and creative cuisine. For the ultimate seaside perch, call and reserve one of the tables on the terrazza con vista.”

Rick Steves: “La Cantina di Miky serves artfully crafted Ligurian specialties that follow in Miky’s Family tradition of quality...It’s more youthful and informal [than sister restaurant, Miky], and the setting is unpretentious.”

The kitchen is our favorite room. We have long dreamed of a kitchen with Heath tile when we buy a home!

We will stay in Cinqueterre immediately after our wedding for our official honeymoon!

Rick Steves, on Ristorante il Gabriello: “Inviting and small...provides a peaceful and local-feeling respite...Claudio serves with charisma, while his brother, Gabriello, cooks creative Roman cuisine using fresh, organic products from his wife’s farm. Italians normally just trust their water and say, ‘Bring it on’... For splurge meals, I’d consider Gabriello, Fortunato, and Taverna Trilussa (in that order).”

David Mellor cutlery is made in Sheffield, England of the highest quality of stainless steel. In addition to designing beautiful cutlery, Mellor designed the traffic light system in use across the UK.

Italy's beautiful vistas and winding roads just aren't the same when taken in from a Renault. We (Will) have our eyes on an Alfa Romeo to get around before and after the wedding!

Rick Steves, on Antica Osteria Da Divo: “The kitchen is inventive, the ambience is flower and candlelit, some of the seating fills old Etruscan tombs, and the food is delicate and top-notch.”
