Our good friends (and blog all-stars) Mauro and Bari celebrated two fantastic events at their restaurant this summer. You all know M&B from all of the crazy, wine-fueled cooking classes that I go on and on about. But this time they were celebrating 2 non-class events, one personal and another magical.
The first was their 25th wedding anniversary. They had invited all of their close family and friends to help them celebrate their silver anniversary at little party held in the backyard of their lovely restaurant. As part of the their incredibly fun spirit, they asked everyone to wear their favorite hats, and Cyn and I, never ones to miss an opportunity to wear costumes, obliged. We got to spend time with Mauro and Bari's families and had a great meal to boot. The coolest thing was realizing that aside from us being "really good customers", M&B actually think of us very close friends.
The other really cool event that we got to go to was a nighttime Jazz Concert and dinner, again out on the field behind the trattoria. The tents and lights were simply magical and the food, as always, was superb. The jazz band, called the Travelling Peters (well the Italian equivalent of the Travelling Peters) kept the mood cool as the summer sun set behind the mountain and wine flowed all night long.
We hope they do another Jazz dinner again soon!
