You made me remember our family trip to Italy in 2017, where I wrote as much about the food as the sights. I need to check out Carmelo's.

By the way if you ever plan a trip to Italy, one of my friends has a great place to stay in a small village near Orvieto.

Funnily enough, I am going there again at some point in the future but the lodging has long been planned. Looks like a great town!

Best Italian restaurant salad of all-time? Chiapperrelli's in Baltimore's Little Italy. Have been going for over 30 years. The salad's so damn good, the food is nearly an afterthought. I've coerced a rough version of the recipe out of waitresses twice, plus used internet knockoffs, and still can't replicate it. Treat yourself when you're back here.

One of my regrets was not exploring Baltimore more in my time there. If I ever make it to Chiapperrelli's, or Baltimore for that matter, I'm taking you with me!
