To celebrate our anniversary last week, we went to Villa Nova, a fancy Italian restaurant, in Newport, for dinner and a gondola ride through the harbor. Isn't it a cool looking building? Apparently, this restaurant has a lot of history. Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe actually went on a blind date at Villa Nova!
The food was deeeelicious and it was such a fun atmosphere. Let's just say, our waiter was wearing a tux (a major departure from our usual dinners at Chilis!)
This was our view from the table!
This was my view of dessert! This was a dulce de leche ice cream truffle, which alone was worth going to Villa Nova. So, so good.
After dinner, we went on a gondola ride through the harbor. We died laughing because the website described a gondola ride through the harbor, complete with gourmet chocolates and music. Well, the "gourmet" chocolates were actually York Peppermint Patties in a basket and a boom box playing Andrea Bocelli. Hilarious!
The boat ride was, by far, the best part of the night! It was such a beautiful night out and we loved riding around the harbor looking inside all of the Newport mansions, not to mention, our gondolier was hilarious.
I love anniversaries!

Ok, you are guys are romantics. I love it and I'm a tad bit jealous of all your lovie dovie dates. This sounds soooo fun and I kind of want to copy you and do this little boat ride. Don't be mad.
BTW, where are the pics of your new place with all the new decorations? I saw a small sampling of you on the floor on your computer (I won't reveal my sources)... and I happened to notice the rug, the frames, and every other darling thing. I want to see the whole place!!! I want to redecorate now.
Wow! I am so happy for you guys, I wish could turn back the clock 10 years and have my anniversary all over again. Dulce de Leche ice cream truffle..sounds yummy!
