Max & Alex couldn’t cook dinner on Sunday, April 5, because we were on vacation in Orlando. Instead they had a buffet dinner with three of their friends (Jonah, Eli and Grant) at Trattoria del Porto. Everyone gave the restaurant a thumbs up….its hard to beat eating outside in warm weather. overlooking a boat-filled bay. The kids especially liked the pasta bar where they could choose the type of pasta, the type of sauce and add-ins. Favorite dishes included pasta with red sauce, prime rib, and of course chocolate fondue.

Only drawback: “it was hard to choose which pasta and which sauce,” says Max, “because there were so many choices.” Also, a bit too much sauce on the pasta!

Alex really loved the way they served the dishes in the buffet.
