After an half hour drive they arrive at a small restaurant. Outside there are matte red tables with two chairs each. A large window next to the door gives a view of the small restaurant. The door was as wood and dark brown, the house itself was made of bricks and painted in a dirty white.

Ludwig and Larissa park across the street and get out.
"It looks cozy", says Larissa and runs around the car to Ludwig.
"Yes, it's a very old restaurant. I like to go here, the food is delicious", he says and took her hand. Larissa looks confusedly at his hand and up to him. Ludwig pulled them behind him across the street and let them go when an older man came to them half bald. He stepped out of the restaurant and hugged Ludwig.
"Hello my old friend. Let them look at you, you look fabulous as always", he says with an Italian accent.
"Who is that enchanted Señiorita next to you?" he says, kissing Larissa's hand.
"This is my date today, Larissa Lasru. She's my father's friend's daughter. Larissa, this is an old friend, Marco Esposito", Ludwig introduced them to each other.
"You have enchanting eyes, my dear", he says and Larissa smiles embarrassedly.
"Thank you. "
"Just come in, I'll finish eating right away", he says as he runs in and waving to them. Larissa's looking at him confused.
Has Ludwig ordered yet?
She wonders, in her thoughts. Ludwig notices her questioning look and says:
"I took the liberty of ordering the speciality from him, lasagna, I hope it was in order. She's really the best I know. "
"I'm excited", says Larissa, stepping into the restaurant.

Inside, the tables and chairs were dressed in red. Half of the wall was made of sand-colored stones and above it was a white wall. This white was bright and bright, making the room look much bigger. Pictures of Marco and other people on the beach hung on the walls. On the left, hung a white, red, blue surf board. And in the corners of the restaurant there were green little plants.

Marco comes out of the grey door, at the back of the room.
"Sit wherever you want", he says, putting on a blue apron with the Italian flag. Ludwig pulls Larissa to a table by the window and points to the chair in front of her. He sits down, and she does the same. Marco comes to them, with a pen and a block.
"What can I get you to drink, my darling?"
"a long matured Italian wine please", says Ludwig.
"A glass of water for me", says Larissa and Ludwig looks over at her.
"The wine is for both of us", he says with a laugh.
"Ludwig, I'm not allowed to drink alcohol yet", she says.
"Me neither, marco still gives us one. So that's all Marco, thank you very much", says Ludwig and Marco nods and leaves.
"Oh, I thought you were already over 22", says Larissa embarrassed.
"I know, many think so. I probably look older, but I'm only 19", says Ludwig with arrogance and drove his fingers through his hair.
"You're 19?" Larissa asks again and Ludwig nods. Before Larissa could say anything else, marco came with a bottle of wine.
"Baffonero Rocca di Frassinello, aged for 15 years. One of our best red wines", he says and puts the wine on the table.
"I'll be right back with two wine glasses. In addition, the food should be ready right away", he says and leaves again. Larissa looks at the wine bottle and then at Ludwig.
"Never drank alcohol my sweet?" he asks.
"No, not really", she answers.
"Well, this is the first time today, the wine is really delicious you'll like in sure. Doing something forbidden just makes the date more interesting", he says and grins. Marco comes back with two wine glasses and places one in front of Larissa and one in front of Ludwig. He opens the wine and wanted to pour it to both of them when Ludwig took the bottle from him and with the other hand let him know that he was doing it. Marco nods and leaves them alone again. He takes the glass that stands before Larissa and pours some of the red wine and then to himself. Larissa takes the glass in her hand and points to it. She could smell different dark berries. Among others raspberry, blueberry and vanilla.
"Let's find our date", says Ludwig and raised his glass. Larissa raised it too, and they raise a toast. Carefully Larissa takes a sip of the wine. It tastes fresh, full and robust. It was pleasant to drink.
"How does it taste to you?" asks Ludwig and puts his glass back down.
"He" started Larissa looking for the right words.
"It tastes very good", she says, sailing the glass in front of her again. Marco came through the grey door again and this time with two plates. He put them in front of the two and the cutlery.
"Bon Appétit" says Marco and goes back to the kitchen. On each of the two plates was a piece of deliciously smelling lasagna. The cheese was nicely melted with the lasagna plate and the smell of minced meat and tomato sauce covered the air.
"Bon Appétit, my lady", says Ludwig and begins to eat.
"Bon Appétit, my lord", Larissa wished and begins to eat.
