World Cup Spaghetti

--
Ignoring the event that's "Taking over" South Africa would be irreverent, so we at Olga's have made arrangements so that our guests can follow the Football World Cup. We have therefore set up a confortable TV corner where fans can support their team but we have also concocted a special dish fit for the occasion. This dish is a fusion of flavours from the world's northern and southern hemisphere: the unmistakable taste of San Marzano tomatoes, the flavour of olive oil, the aroma of oregano combine with the exotic delicacy of crocodile meat cooked in South African wine into a sauce for traditional italian spaghetti. A taste from around the world!

...today there's something new at Olga's

We had laid the first stone of what is to become Graziella's garden, the new arrangement of the area in front of the restaurant which at the moment is not in use.

This is a small contribution to Olga's project promoted by a group of friends of Graziella, Tiziana' sister (Tiziana being currently in Livingston for this reason) who died a year ago. The garden will feature some areas paved with local stones with picnic tables of different size.
Here costumers will be able to surf the Net using the existing wi-fi connection while enjoying a pizza or a tiramisù in the shade of the mango trees. There will also be some playground equipment for children: a sand pit, a swing and a see-saw. And naturally a great variety of colourful flowers. There is not better way to commemorate Graziella, a passionate gardener who dedicated many years of her life to working as a psychologist with disabled children.
