{Ristorante da Maria - Best Italian Food in Central Georgia!}

Last year we did start already the tradition of having a delicious Italian Christmas Eve Dinner at Ristorante da Maria. Since our family on this side of the ocean consists of only the two of us, that's the very best we can do. It was again a great evening. We enjoyed for about three hours the five-course, elegant Christmas Eve Dinner, cooked by Lady Chef Maria Runggaldier. Next we went to Church for great organ music with caroling before the actual Midnight Mass. A perfect Christmas Eve for us. Pieter got sick the next day with the flu but right now he's doing much better. For all those living near Macon, Georgia or anywhere near Central Georgia, there is still the option for New Year's Eve to have such delicious five-course dinner. What better ending of the year 2011?! Just to show you how the menu for Christmas Eve looked like, for making you mouth water... Everything on the menu is made from scratch; using the best quality fresh ingredients!
Sure, for both of us having lived and worked near Venice, this is HEAVEN! Maria is from the city of Bolzano, the northern part of Italy and she is quite a Lady Chef!
Guess my readers from Italy will recognize these yummy dishes!
It makes us quite happy and that's why I want to mention Lady Chef Maria here.
By the way, it is her husband Heinz who helps serve her delicious food... Heinz is from Innsbruck, Austria.
Do you also have such a great favorite restaurant nearby?

    Sounds like a lovely place, and the selection of food mouth watering delicious! Italian food is a staple in our home, since Mr. G. is Italian and does most of the cooking... I think we are going to settle in for a cozy New Year celebration for duex and furbabies, at home. Happy Holidays, xo HHL

    Hi Mariette,

    The menu sounds wonderful! I love Italian food and make it quite often.
    Venice is a beautiful place. How lucky for you to have lived near there.

    Sounds like a lovely place! If you are ever in Florida, be sure to visit Palm Beach. Very nice restraunts and shoppes with European touch.

    Have a nice weekend :)

    xoxo
