Here is my story:

I’ve been to Italy several times, went to some big & popular cities there and I love this country very much. I love the beautiful sights, the good foods as well as the warm people everywhere in Italy but I guess the night I had dinner at Al Cavallino restaurant in Treviso last year was totally win my heart.

It was a cozy restaurant with wine bottles decorate every where inside that brings a very unique look. Gian Carlos - the owner, old gentlemen but looks elegant and noble - first thought I was Japanese but as long as he knew I’m Vietnamese then he started treating me as a long lost friend (he knows a little bit about Vietnam, the country and the war over the books he read). He served me with the best things there. I only ordered the house wine and leave the food up to the restaurant. I had a nice artichoke risotto for starter. Then I had the best grilled prawns with olive oil, it was so delicious. After that there came the 10 year-old wine (which I don’t remember the name) that brought me on cloud 9 (I wanted to use the word “turn on”, :)..), the dessert with chilled red grapes and house made Soya cream (tasted even better than butter cream that I had to ask for more) with sweet breads. Gian Carlos finished my dinner with a glass of champagne.

It was the first time in my life that I kept saying “oh my God” for good foods almost non-stop in a dinner. The great foods and the great company (Gian Carlos and the staffs there made me forgot that I was having dinner alone), the cozy atmosphere of the restaurant, the nice weather, the people, everything there was just …amazing! I also got a special price, my dinner cost just a little more than a pizza. Gian Carlos almost didn’t want to take my money. Everybody there treated me as a member in the family though it was the very first time I ever met them in my life. I just felt so good and promised myself that I will definitely come back to Al Cavallino every time I go to Italy. The next day I found that it’s one of the best restaurants in Treviso.

People in Treviso are very helpful and friendly, they stopped and showed me direction when I asked. They even personally walked me to the place and a couple gave me a lift in their car to my hotel one night. I was very grateful! Everything there was just unforgettable!
