the restaurant overlooking Aviano halfway up the mountain at Mezzomonte; Ristorante Zaia at Polcenigo.. and Il Refugio..
SV, You forgot the Hotel Spia in Montereale! Happy memories of the Sunday Lunchtime Cruise in the mountains to find a new place to eat - including one that couldn't give us a menu because it depended upon what they had managed to shoot that day.
Sadly, these trips became less and less as:
a. Allowances were cut and cut as we went to pizzaria rates from restaurant rates.
b. vehicle milage restrictions were added and added.
It was all so different from my first experience in Italy (Sicily) where we were restricted to base (no transport) and had to eat in the messes. Pasta for lunch followed by the same pasta dish but cold for dinner. I can imagine which system is being used for the serviceman in the article.
