Going to Italy again

[Harrison]

I love Italian food. There is a huge difference between real Italian food and the rubbish most fast food places sell.

When we stayed in Sorrento the pizza and ice cream was amazing. And being the lemon region the lemonchello was great. But as with you I mostly ate sea food there. And for a special honeymoon meal we treated ourselves to an expensive restaurant and had red snapper in crazy water. That was really nice.

The prices where you were sound really cheap. Obviously Sorrento being more tourist based was more expensive, but still we didn't think it was really high, and probably about the same as we pay in the UK. Probably €20-30 for a meal for 2.

Btw, do you speak much Italian? Weren't your family originally from Italy?

You mean without wine, starter, dessert and no fish or steak? In Luxembourg you easily spend 80-100€ for a main course with a bottle of wine and an aperitif in a "normal" restaurant.

I don't speak Italian, I understand a lot when I'm reading it, and know some of the basic words. My grandfather was Italian, and he came from Talamello (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talamello), but as my grandfather was married to a Luxembourgian, he never spoke Italian at home, so my father already doesn't speak a lot. My uncle (father's brother) speaks Italian, but only because he goes there every year since over 40 years.

I can get a decent meal for 2 with a drink, starter and main course for around £30 in the UK. Even less with coupon deals, which we often use. We don't often have desserts though.

Never! - I've spent £70 in Shitzza Hut for 2 adults & 4 kids. - Never again.

Recently, Deb & I went to the Pier House at Charlestown last week for her Birthday. Starter, main course & dessert with a bottle of Pino Grigio Rose £75.00 + £6 for two drinks @ the bar beforehand. The restaurant is A la Carte but £20 for a fillet steak is really taking the piss.

There are much more expensive places to dine here in Cornwall too.

Pizza hut is rubbish though, and not real pizza, but American's idea of what they think a pizza is, with the horrible bases.

We only go to Zizzi, Prezzo, Ask or Pizza Express when eating pizza out, and we utilise online deals when we go anywhere to get great prices. Looking at current deals you can get 2 Main Courses at Prezzo for £12.95, 2 Main courses at Ask for £13.50, Buy one main course, and get another for £2.50 as Pizza Express or Bella Italia, or 25% off the total bill at Zizzi.

So at Pezzo, getting 2 main courses for £12.95, you could easily get some drinks and a starter for under £30.

I don't like Pizza Hut food, it's really cheap, I go there once in 10 years, and then I'm done again for the next 10.
