The Adventure Begins

October 2 2014

Having arrived in SWFL the first thing I wanted to do was have some great food. I wanted to go where locals go eat, none of them chains for this diva. Where I come from we do not have any chain restaurants. Heaven forbid! So I hopped onto the internet and began to search for a locally owned Italian (of course) restaurant. That is when I discovered LaMotta's Italian Restaurant. I called the nice people at What's Up SWFL , where I had found a review by the Discriminating Diner, an asked them if they could take me there. You see I can't drive. They were all to happy to dine with me.
I must say I was pleasantly surprised with how at home the people at LaMotta's made me feel. The food was heavenly and the wine was some of the best I have had in ages. Sometimes where I am from we have, well home made wine I guess is the best way to explain it. 

I met the Chef and owner Carmelo LaMotta. What a nice young man and to find out he was from a neighboring village in Sicily was a real surprise. He was just so taken with my beauty that he made me an offer I could not refuse when he asked me if I would be their official spokesperson. I had not been in SWFL 24 hours and already my talents were in demand! One could hardly refuse such a offer. My first official duty was to attend his Chef's Table event on October 4. I could hardly wait to experience that! 
The nice people of What's Up SWFL offered to be my tour guides during my stay in SWFL. What a lucky diva I am!!!!! I know my adventure here in SWFL was off to a great start!
