Foligno – the food festival and Salvatore













We drove over the mountain and after some wandering and stops arrived at our primary stop for the day Foligno. They was a weekend celebration of food and our weekend was all about food, wine, conversation and laughs so it seemed to be the perfect. Another great spot to wander. We were disappointed by the festival but made up for it with shopping and a lunch to remember.
We were able to get a spot at Salvatore’s spot – Il Bacco Felice. A local character and chef. He not only orchestrates the whole experience and menu but joins each table for some wine and conversation. We just sat down and the food kept coming. At the end he charges you based on the experience he provided – and whether he likes you or not. It may cost you more if you or your surrounding tables are not to his liking. He was both a fan of Minneapolis and the Hunter Valley so we had a great afternoon, wonderful conversation and a bill we were more than willing to cover.
