10/05/2025: The Old Stable: Where Weddings Don't Make Dust
Ok, let's put it this way: facing a wedding dinner is often an act of courage that requires strategic reserves of patience and the ability to simulate interest for hours. I'm usually a "crazy ball", let's say it openly! But today, at the "Vecchia Stalla" (and yes, the name makes you think of anything but wedding banquets based on fish with a sea view, and here is the beauty and the first comic point!), something unexpected happened.
The fish-only menu was already a good sign: goodbye, kilometric rounds of mixed meat and greasy first courses that knock you out after two courses! Here we went for cleanliness, the flavor of the sea. And what a flavor! Everything, but I mean everything, was really very good. The fish was fresh, the preparations were carefully prepared, in short, the taste buds were grateful and did not feel weighed down for the next 48 hours.
And the view? Wonderful, it almost made you feel guilty for looking at the plate instead of at the infinite blue out there. A real show.
But the real, unexpected, sensational strong point? The speed! My goodness, these went like missiles! Dishes that arrived and disappeared from the table with a synchronicity that is miraculous for a wedding. No embarrassing downtime, no blank stares waiting for the next course, no "now what do I do for the next 40 minutes?". No, here was a continuous stream of goodness whizzing by. Fortunately, I add, because my tolerance for wedding boredom has its well-known limits, and today they have not been tested in the slightest. On the contrary.
In summary: a wedding lunch at the "Vecchia Stalla" is the perfect solution for those who love newlyweds, good food (excellent fish!) and breathtaking views, but have a serious, very serious allergy to weddings that last as long as a Homeric epic. Impeccable service, standing ovation food and a speed that gets you back on track in an instant, ready for... the post-prandial nap not on the napkin. Highly recommended...
