Cortona

 Love,Love, Love this small town in Tuscany!  Hands down, it has the best and most delicious food in Tuscany.  Every restaurant we ate at was amazing and completely affordable.  I know we’ve stated in other blog entries about how delicious the food is in every town but Cortona truly is the best out of all of them. The scenery is just as amazing as the food, and the town is incredibly serene.  We can completely understand why Frances Mayes and her husband decided to purchase a villa in Cortona  and made it their part time home.  We would too if we could afford it.  Basically, we just walked around the city and ate ALOT!
   One night by chance, we met Frances May's husband, Ed, and his three sisters at a restaurant.  At first, we didn't know who he was until his eldest sister asked us if we had seen Bramasole (the Under the Tuscan Sun villa), which we hadn't yet.  Then, she proceeded to tell us that Ed was the owner of Bramasole and the husband of Frances Mayes.  It was such a pleasure meeting them. They are really great people. They also directed us to a restaurant that has the BEST pasta and Tiramisu EVER!!!
