Ahhhh, the aroma of Italian cuisine!
The romance of accordion music and candles,
And the ambiance of tufted chairs, lavish linens
and gorgeous pottery!

What great fun we had celebrating my "double nickels" Birthday
at the Portofino Bay Resort in Orlando, FL.
This mosaic adorns the entrance to
Mama Della's Ristorante.
Colorful pottery brought out the "party" in each of us, 
and the setting put us in a "vacation" mood!

The plaza complete with a tower clock...
Did I say lavish linens and gorgeous pottery?
Lovely potted plants as well...
ALL made for an evening to remember.
Wish you could have joined us!
Ciao

ReplyDeleteHi Jessica,
