Outdoors
Remember it's a great season to take advantage of the beautiful Appenine Mountains (they're still tons of blueberries to pick on Monte Matto) or get your permit to go "Porcini Hunting" in Val di Taro...
Liguria is still beautiful too in this fall season: focaccia and pesto await!
We recently ate at the very (very) low-key Monte Prinzera Agriturismo: an excellent home-cooked meal with a pretty view. The hiking trail behind the structure wasn't much to speak of but apparently there is a better path to lead you up the mountain.
New Dining Experiences
We've heard great things about the new MEET Hamburger restaurant in Parma - for those of you who are craving a quarter-pounder to go with your football games!
