Beautiful place. I barely ever made it to the last course. But the deserts were delicious. One of my deserts was a sweet type of cheese that had a wine taste.

If you are up to it climb the Duomo the stairs are long but the view upstairs is spectacular. You have to make reservations in the ticket office and the newly opened museum has some gorgeous pieces. Take the elevator to the roof view also.
