We believe in getting to know people and places through commerce and design. Someone else's daily diet of lo-fi goods is simple to her yet sacred to us, and vice versa. Let's marvel at each other's mundane, because that shit is dope.

Ristorante Bagni Delfino, Sorrento, Italy – Spot Check

Ristorante Bagni Delfino, Sorrento, Italy – Spot Check

Driving down narrow roads, our mini car huggin’ the stone walls as we rounded one corner after the next. For sure we were on the road to nowhere. Google had done us wrong! Thunder and torrential rain kept stormin’ down – the unwelcome theme of our STMT x Italy road trip. But sometimes you just gotta roll with it. Weather be damned. We drove. Slow but forward. We had a destination in mind – Ristorante Bagni Delfino.

When we finally approached the restaurant, the host spotted us, ran out, and waved us forward to park. We asked where. He pointed right in front. Rock star parking!

It’s not often that I discover tasty gluten-free pasta, especially in Italy. I finished the third course – noodles with sea urchin sauce – and knew I had to try more. The noodles melted in my mouth.

I moved on to their seafood risotto.

I don’t even know if I ordered the courses the Italian way (how do they manage so many courses for dinner?), but I DID devour more courses from this meal than any previous dinner in Italy. Final count? Seven. Next time I’m in Italy? 10. Future goals.
