On a day trip from Preci, we headed out to Spoleto. Spoleto was a 45 minute drive and worth it. It's a beautiful town. We decided to eat at Ristorante Apollinare which is right across the street from the archaeology museum in town. At the restaurant, we started with a bottle of wine and a salad with fresh strawberries and a fondue. The fondue was really a piece of cheese that was wrapped in phyllo dough and fried.
The salad was fantastic- hazelnuts, an apple vinaigrette and fresh fruit- strawberries and peaches. So fresh and tasty. The wine of course was local and very good. The cheese was very tasty (of course), but I forgot the get a picture of it. For our main courses, I got pork with wine poached pears and Lynn had lamb.
The pork had crispy little bits from the fat. It was moist and so good. The pear and it's sauce were a great pairing with the pork. Lynn's lamb was very good as well, although I never tried it (I was informed that it was very good).
It was a good restaurant, but it was expensive. There weren't that many people there (we were one of two tables). Our waiter reminded me of Gary Oldman. I wish I had gotten a picture of him.
