This is the pizza I had at Porto Via or Via Porta or something like that. It actually did have the authentic taste from an Italian Pizzeria! The crust was delicious, and had that wood charred essence. I didn't want to have to be driving at night so I got to the restaurant at 6:30. I was the only one there until a couple other people showed up. But by the time I left the place was filling up. I guess like any normal big city it had a busy night life. We roll up the sidewalks in Elizabethton pretty early.

and I had to try their hazelnut gelato, and that had to be authentic hazelnut flavor and the consistency of real gelato!

the bad news was my eye appointment and Coco's Italian deli that I tried. Apparently I have a corneal ulcer, which is the same thing my poor cat has. I had calamari at Coco's in it looked and tasted like it was just out of a box. Then I tried their hazelnut gelato and it was obviously just ice cream. Good flavor though but not real gelato.

so this is your restaurant report from Nashville :-) hope everybody is doing well.

That pizza looks absolutely divine, think I’ll try a slice.

Oh no, how did you get a corneal ulcer?

Did you just want Roy to not feel bad and you are sharing this?

Are you headed home in the morning and how far of a drive is it?

Sorry for all the questions but inquiring minds just want to know.

I’m fasting for a medical procedure tomorrow- a nuclear stress test.

No caffeine after 6PM- check

No food after midnight- check (I’m having homemade juice and looking at that picture literally made my stomach growl in hunger pangs.)

Cruel! Cruel I tell ya’ Cruel!

The pie looks scrumptious.

Well....the pizza pic you posted looks amazing.

We’ve been enjoying pizza made in a pizza oven. Yum. That crust reminds me of the ones we’ve been having.

So sorry to hear about your corneal ulcer :-(

Are there any drops that may help?
