Disappointing pesto.

Tweet

It was such a disappointment today to be served a meal that was not freshly cooked. The gnocchi were obviously bought frozen and the pesto was out of a jar - how hard could it be for a restaurant to serve freshly made pesto? It’s not that complicated. The day was redeemed however by our evening meal of ravioli stuffed with ricotta and spinach and in a deeply, flavourful tomato sauce. We spent the afternoon in Pisa’s botanical gardens, one of the world’s oldest. It’s not huge but it interesting, many plants grown for their medicinal properties. It was good to be able to sit in the shade of the trees for a while. Would a city’s botanical gardens interest you if you were there on holiday? Maybe you are more interested in the bright lights?, but for me it’s parks, walks and restaurants.
