We had three rounds of red wine, we asked for smaller amounts on the second round because it was hard to finish a whole cup before the next round, and they gave us 2/3 cup instead, true Italian portions. We didn’t have breakfast and all of us felt full after all the food samples, there was pizza, suppli, cheese, olives, salami, veggies/fruits, pastries, and some samples of pistachio cream, SO GOOD.”
