While staying in Abruzzo, we stopped for an afternoon cafe in Montereale. The owner suggested Thomas for dinner. What a treat! The Fettuccine con Tartuffe was so delicious that my husband and children all ordered it the following night when we returned for our second visit. Not only was the food delicious, the owner and his wife went so far out of their way to accommodate us showing up too early for dinner, they took us to see cows in the countryside. Living in Vermont for 10 years, we've seen our fair share of cows; yet it will take a long time to forget this older woman speeding around the mountainside in her 1989 Fiat Panda to make sure that our two children got to see Italian cows! We're giving Thomas a 5 star rating for its unusually friendly hospitality! read more
