Day 9 – Wednesday August 18th

Today was mushroom day. I ate mushrooms at lunch, 2 kinds – porccino and another mushroom sauce with pasta. Matteo picked us up and we went to visit Matte at Il Mulinaccio. We grabbed an apertive and then headed out for the night. We drove forever through the mountains, past Pavullo to Valus (or something) to eat dinner at a restaurant known for having the best mushrooms. We started with polenta con ragu, two different breads with mushrooms sauces, then we had tortellini with mushrooms, gnocchi with mushrooms, fried mushrooms, grilled mushrooms, grilled meat and boiled meet with sauce, then we had mascarpone and drinks. We tried Mirtillino, a raspberry drink, grappa, and limoncello. After drinking, we went back to Margharita’s and hung out. At like 4:00 Matteo brought us home and we went to bed.
