Dining Outside the Home: L’Olivo Ristorante in Naples, Florida! Located in the heart of Fifth Avenue is an authentic Italian restaurant where Happy Hour, Three-Course Specials, and Featured Entrees make it a memorable place. Although there is a main menu, sometimes it’s a good idea to go with the flow, especially when the chef suggests preset combinations. The portions were reasonable in order to keep a steady pace from one specialty to another. The Bruschetta Prosciutto with shaved parmesan cheese was an easy start, allowing time for sipping on an Aperol Spritzer. The oven-baked Lasagna with bolognese sauce and melted mozzarella cheese was hearty, down to the very last dredge of crusty bread across the marinara. As a finale, there’s always room for dessert when it’s Tiramisu. The espresso-soaked ladyfingers are like eating air. Grazie!

You should Google Naples, Florida. It’s a dream-come-true for mid-lifers and retirees as well as vacationers. The culture is very diverse and lively. We are in awe of how well-groomed and landscaped the boulevards and communities are. It is definitely our “happy place”. 🌴🍃🌺

Only a few things. I’d like to try more. What would you suggest for a “beginner”? I’ve made hummus. Also cous cous.

You should try Turkish kofte (which is like a meatball) or maybe Pide (it’s like Turkish version of Pizza)

You’re right. I like the idea of a lamb and beef combination for the meatballs. Sounds wonderful. 😋🍃
