We had to have the best gelato before dinner. Not a tradition here but the place would have closed after dinner.
Now they say the good gelato is not the kind that is an over flowing mountain in its tub in the window. Thats for tourists. The good stuff is this one that’s in it metal container in the fridge with a lid and not overflowing. Or some shit like that. This stuff was incredible. Glad we held out.
Edit
Aga I’m so sorry I forgot to tag you on this one. I just read your gratitude post. We finally held out and got the Bestest Gelato. It was so delicious. Stracciatella My favourite

We were treated to a Michelin Restaurant tonight in San Gimignano The Town of Fine Towers in Siena
I cannot remember or figure out how to tell you everything we ate. But these appetizers were served on some local limestone
There were 4 types of bread offered this one was a best sourdough ever! And served with ash butter. Thats right ash. I think I might like the real salted french butter better. But that’s just me.
Grouper appetizer.
I missed the pic of Buttoni (button) pasta
With kettle fish (squid) I couldn’t keep up!
The main was a duck with a fois gras, confit something. It was incredible.
I missed the pic of the pre dessert lemon sorbet 
And on to the best thing ever. The chocolate dessert with chocolate pearls and @Alisa that’s a cranberry sorbet in the middle. It worked perfectly 
And of course an espresso. I went decaf. Don’t judge me @JazzyS it was 10 o’clock I couldn’t chance the real thing. And it was just as good as regular. Thick a coffeeey
And a small moon peeking through the medieval walls to say
Buona notte

My birthday supper I made myself.
I made chickpea lentil pasta for kiddo. For mine, I added some Nova Scotian seared scallops with sundried tomatoes, artichoke hearts and baby spinach. A touch of Alfredo roasted garlic sauce. I had mussels & Argentinian shrimp to add but they weren’t thawed yet. Maybe tomorrow.

Fazoli’s GF pasta with chicken pesto, and mozzarella. Pretty sure there’s gluten…Quite salty. Everything is. I imagine it’s a pretty big taste bud coming alive.
