She also was very generous with the libations during our pasta prep. After we made two types of pasta, we retired to a table in the adjacent restaurant. Here our pasta was cooked and topped with delicious sauces appropriate to each dish. We also enjoyed red and white wine with our dinner. Everyone left full and content.”
