The journey begins with all of is leaving the apartment. Five families (with a total of nine children) heading down the street.
The streets of FirenE are narrow and we are practically in a single file line!
We pause for moment to capture a shot of my father and my youngest son in front of a shop of their namesake!
At the restaurant, things start to get loud! Six bottles of wine across three tables. Everybody orders.
I make sure the kids try something new. Number one son has ravioli stuffed with potato and a procini mushroom sauce. My daughter has the same pasta with red sauce. Number two son has carabonara with a fresh spaghetti almost 1/8th inch in diameter! My youngest has whote pasta (butter and no sauce) - tagliatelle.
My wife and I order tre zuppe. Firenze is known for soups so we each sample the trio of soups.
The party starts getting really loud. People are changing tables and tasting each other's dishes. My nephew plays a song on the recorder that sounds straight out of a renaissance faire. The while restaurant gives him applause.
Everybody has a drink of their choice. Here are some pictures of the fun!

The kiids were drawing on the placemats. The adults were talking and laughing. Did you ever notice that when a restaurant us loud it can attract a lot of patrons? Let's hope we brought them lots of business!
Here's my father explaining the Amora della Casa http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amaro_%28liqueur%29 provided by the restaurant (gratis). We all had quite a bit!
No night is complete without gellato!
