the restaurant was actually owned by an Italian. \u00a0I didn&#8217;t know until I ordered Cannoli for desert and asked for a fork and he came out from the kitchen, telling me that Cannoli is to be eaten by hand, not with a fork, and refused to give it to me. \u00a0Good thing too, he was right, it tasted better eating by hand.<\/p>\n<p>Lessons Learned<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"line-height: 13px;\">When traveling for a long period of time, sometimes it is nice to just &#8220;chill&#8221;
