And just like that, our evening is complete with wine, biscotti and an anecdote to hold onto. We thank Pietro and Luiz for their hospitality and wave to the remaining wait staff with our full stomachs and overflowing hearts. It looks as though we’ve proved my point; we’re just another case of completely content people huddled around a dinner table, mimicking the Italian way. And although we promise ourselves to return to Italy sooner than later, we know that Via Vai is always there—welcoming us with open arms and all the pizza doughcovered-pasta-soup concoctions we could ever desire.
