As anyone knows Easter or Pasqua is a very important day in Italy. And it seems, more for the big lunch that everyone goes out to enjoy together. We had reservations with two other couples at our favorite place, Calagrana. We started our short 15 minute drive and ran into a traffic jam. OK Easter Sunday, 12:45 yes it can be rush hour in Italy…Rushing to lunch that is! And it seemed everyone was headed to a restaurant or someones home.

It was a pretty day in Umbria. Sunny, a little chilly but at least it was not raining. Our lunch was excellent as usual. A real feast. And here is photographic proof!

Table greeted us with a sure sign of spring.

Ravioli with foie gras. Came close to missing this picture!

One of the entrees. Lamb porchetta with Yorkshire pudding

Salmon

I did NOT like it…. Hah! SO good.

Dessert

Eggs for on the way home.

To prove it was a pretty day, here is La Rocca in Umbertide when we returned.

Buona Pasqua a Tutti!!
