...we took the boat to the Oriental pier and headed straight for the Bamboo Bar to enjoy drinks before dinner: excellent recorded jazz, good service and congenial atmosphere. Dinner at Ciao by the river: (not pictured) lightly battered seafood platter of shrimp and calamari. SD had the seafood pizza and I ordered the dorade in a cream sauce: both delicious. SD finished with a fior di latte scoop with marinated cherries while I had a plate of mini-goodies (lava cake, etc). Perfect weather, attentive service, a Rioja red and well-prepared dishes made for a memorable Christmas dinner.
