Reason enough to try the new winter menu at La Piazza

As the days get shorter, the number of meals I take gets larger. I had already eaten four and a half meals by the time I reached La Piazza, one of the cosiest restaurants in the city, to try the new winter menu. Which, I warned, the rather patiently waiting (the wife was late as usual) Chef Alessandro, would make his job tougher than usual for this early dinner.

An ordinary start
We began with a Green salad with honey mustard dressing and creamy mushroom soup. The salad was just thatu00a0-- saladu00a0-- and there was nothing extraordinary about the soup either.
