3 Jolie

We went for a meal at the newly opened 3 Jolie restaurant owned by the AC Milan footballer Gennaro Gattuso. The restaurant was walking distance from our hotel. We really enjoyed the meal and would reccommend it. The restaurant had low lightning and a colourful decor, which set for a good atmosphere. The food was delicious and without much of a waiting time. Andy had steak and Steph had a beef spaghetti dish. Steph was drinking Vodka and they were very generous with their measures, so if you order a single you are more likely to get it verging on a triple!
After the meal, we went to our hotel bar for some drinks and got talking to our friendly barman, there was a bit of a language barrier, but we think we just about understood each other. The barman felt that he wasn't being challenged enough, so we got him making some cocktails! They were pretty good. The hotel bar closed quite early so the barman recommended his local. His local turned out to be a plastic gazebo in the middle of the street, but it had a good atmosphere. A couple of locals joined us and the language barrier was even greater, but everyone seemed to have a good time anyway.
