Enjoyed this one. The skinny dipping caught my attention, but it was the Italian food that I was really interested in. I’m not much of a foodie, but now that I married an Italian, I’m starting to recognize good Italian food. We like Trattoria Lisina in Dripping Springs at Mandola’s Estate and Winery/ Vineyard. The menu is a little different than the other 3 Mandola’s restaurants and the quality is better. Super cool setting/ atmosphere too!
