Some black truffles too. I only spent a little time in Todi because the weather was awful that day so I can't speak much to that town. My favorite small town in all of Italy is Spoleto which is near Todi. Relatively uncrowded, medieval castle, huge old Roman aqueduct and happened upon the best little restaurant at lunch. We got hungry and happened to wander in at 12:58. They closed the door behind us because lunch is served at 1pm and only 1pm. If you want to eat, you better be there at that time. There was no menu, you get the seven course lunch they decide to make that day. At one point the old woman running the kitchen came out to greet the guests who were all locals except us. She scooped up our two year old in her arms and carried her back into the kitchen. I could picture her holding our daughter in one arm while stirring a big pot of polenta in the other. She brought her back about 15 minutes later. Our daughter just went with the flow, it was hilarious. We stayed at a nice little agritourismo but I'm not sure if I could remember/find the name. Very funny story about a meal there too but this is getting long... [/QUOTE]
