Stellar Stellar!!!
Toulouse is definitely a nice little jewel addition for the Emerald city. Glimmering already from the outside - you walk in to a nicely (busy) but plush interior.

Unlike the tall handsome gentleman Barrio comes with a wondrous selection…More »

Romantica Alimentare: loosely translates to romantic food served at this fine little hole-in-the-wall spot.

Some love, some hate. Or you can flatline yourself right down the middle like me when it comes to this place.
I got a little giddy when first trying to find this hole-in-the-alley spot. The entrance is in a narrow little alley opens to what we…More »
