Basta (STOP) the Pasta!

This fabulous pasta featured chestnuts! And there's little Miss Kendra in her white shirt with not a drip of sauce anywhere. Her mom would be so proud!

This is where our dining guide Pat stood up, blew the whistle and did the "time out" gesture with her hands...

It was time to let the kitchen know that enough was enough. Basta the pasta. The Americans could only make it to the second course

...We are just not marathon runners.
