From Italy, with Lov
We love everything Italian–Italian wine, Italian food, Italian fashion, Italian men ... Come the end of January we'll be able to find three of the four at Italian Wine and Food's The Villa Oro, a restored 1930s villa that will house boutique shops and a gourmet store on the first floor, a bistro restaurant and wine bar on the second and a bar and lounge on the third. Belissimo!
