Especially the wonderful area around the plaza and the coliseum. Can't wait to try Donatella's - hope I didn't mispell any of my words.

I agree Jonah, and thank you. I guess no matter how beautiful the rose some people just see the thorns. I liked this definition too: pe•dan•tic 1. overly concerned with minute details or formalisms, esp. in teaching. True, Verona is not technically a little village, but it felt like one to me. I mean, they still have many cobbled streets. While I always appreciate constructive criticism, this is a <em>blog </em>about <em>food</em>, (which is my area of expertise) not a grammar blog. I always strive for perfection; sometimes it’s just not attainable. In any case, I do thank you all for your thoughts and wish everyone a delicious holiday. ~Namaste~ hmmm … I agree Jonah, and thank you.

I think not. also "poring" over the menu ... meaning to study meticulously. I'm sorry to be such a trainspotter, but such glaring grammatical mistakes jar the reader in the same way a false note does during a musical performance.
