Sigh. I haven’t stopped thinking about it. I am determined to somehow swing Italian night from a midtown flat. I can already taste the Asti Spumante and fresh mozzarella with the ripest tomatoes and deep green basil… mmmm… fino alla prossima volta il mio amore. x o x
Gloriosity, if ever there was a word x
