Enough good things cannot be said about Open Sesame. This restaurant is the very definition of fantastic dining. The entire menu is a time-honored journey into international cuisine at its finest. I sincerely love this place and am probably there now!
The 2007 movie “The Bucket List,” starring Jack Nichelson and Morgan Freeman, served as my motivation to visit Italy. Thanks to some international clients in the 1980s and 1990s, I’ve enjoyed numerous trips to major world destinations – but not this Southern Europe nation-state.
