Rita Cornelio of Mystic Valley
Travel,
Bob Stolfi of Liberty Travel, and
Ruth McBride-Ode of Bravo Tours
arrive with their guests at Perillo's very own hotel
(The Rose Garden Palace Hotel)
for a "meet and greet" orientation in the lobby,
and to share a cocktail before dinner.
|
Steve chats it up at the "welcoming"
dinner in the Rose Garden restaurant
(talking with his hands as Italians often do).
Featured menu items include: fresh buffalo mozzarella with
tomatoes, linguine and baby lobster with fresh tomato sauce, and
grilled whole swordfish followed by a homemade biscotti &
espresso.
(And of course fine wine). |
Steve and Sandro Massari
(Steve's Italy-based tour partner and hotel co-owner) , enjoy a
laugh with the Perillo Perks winners
during their festive dinner. |
|
Bob Stolfi and his wife
Carol relax
and smile for the Perillo Paparazzi. |
Rita Cornelio and her friend
Mary Helen enjoy a chuckle in between dinner courses.
|
Ruth McBride-Ode and her husband
James have a fun moment as the dinner nears an end. |
|
Steve is still talking with his
hands. But now he's standing (even after a few glasses of
wine). |
Then it's off to the Rose
Garden lobby for an
after-dinner drink, more laughter and
lots of lively conversation. |
Things get a little blurry for our
photographer as the wine continues to flow into the evening.
Soon everyone will retire to get an early start on
tomorrow's private tour of Rome.
