AS ONE OF MY SICILIAN BEST FRIENDS, GIULIA, GOT HER DEGREE IN CULTURAL - LINGUISTIC MEDIATION YESTERDAY (BRAVO!!!), WE ALL WENT TO DINNER AT "AL VECCHIO PORCO" (THE TRANSLATION IN ENGLISH IS NOT THAT EASY... I'D SAY: THE OLD DIRTY PIG...). IT IS A TYPICAL MILANESE RESTAURANT IN CHINATOWN, WHERE YOU CAN EAT ALL SORTS OF DELICIOUS TYPICAL DISHES. I HAD SOME RISOTTO, GIULIA HAD A KNUCKLE OF PORK WITH BAKED POTATOES AND ANNA HAD A COTOLETTA ALLA MILANESE (VEAL CUTLET IN BREADCRUMBS). WE HAD ALSO AN AMAZING WHITE WINE, A 2005 GEWURZTRAMINER ABBAZIA DI NOVACELLA THAT GOT ME DRUNK IN FIVE SECONDS. AND THEN A CHOCOLATE HOT CAKE. SIMPLY DIVINE. HERE ARE SOME PICTURE I TOOK THERE. IT'S SO FUNNY BECAUSE THE PLACE IS FULL OF PIG IMAGES! I STRONGLY RECOMMEND IT!
THE GRAFFITI ON THE WALL SAYS: "OLD IS COOL, PIG IS BETTER". LOVE IT!
