Jackie – great pictures. Looks like some civilized patio dining is in my near future.
Great post. I had a fantastic meal on the patio at L’altro Buca last night. Still thinking about the porcini ravioli filled with veal ragout special.
Thanks Canucklehead. There is definitely something to be said for civilized patio dining, i quite enjoy it. Let us know where you end up going!
