An incredible day just had to be shared!

So yesterday was a good day!

In class we cooked two different kinds of pasta! Both delicious! And both homemade of course, I wasn't too good at making the shapes but "It's okay!" according to Pierluigi! Then we went off to wine class where we paired 3 different cheeses, pecorino, asiago, and goat cheese, with a white and red wine! The 2 hour class went by so fast and once it was over, the week of school came to an end. Just 2 more weeks left. I still can't believe it!

After relaxing a bit in the apartment, a few of us went to a fancy 3 course meal with the chef, Guissepa, who is the chef of Christopher Melino right now. He knew everyone in the restaurant and yet he was sitting with us! It was such an experience! When first arriving, we were served champagne and appetizers! I felt so business like, standing up, drinking my champagne, and chatting with the people. I have never been to a place where they serve champagne before even sitting down! The meal was all on pairing food with wine and the Chef really knew his stuff. All the food was fish, which was a little hard for me to handle, but I tried everything, and liked most! The first course was squid with potatoes, followed by ravioli stuffed with blue fish, and then finally tuna filet! The dessert was a strawberry filled cake and sweet wine. Three different wines were served for each of the meals and though some of the pairings didn't seem to work, it was all incredible. We even got a discount on the meal. Though this meal is pretty much my souvenir, the price we received was shocking. At the end of the night, I found out the champagne we were drinking before the meal went for $1200 a bottle! Can you imagine? No wonder it was so good! I can't even begin to think of how much the rest of the food and wines cost and we only paid 35 euro for the whole thing! It was possibly a once in a lifetime chance and I wasn't going to let it pass me by!

We finally left the restaurant around 1am and walked the town for a bit before finally calling it a night!

The things I get to do here is so amazing and I am excited to see what will happen next! Tomorrow is Venice so I will let you guys know how it goes!

Ciao for now!
