After we visited the delightfully quirky Calefs General Store in New Hampshire last week, we were hungry for lunch. Not being familiar with the area we asked the ladies who worked there for a recommendation.

.

.

They directed us to Dante’s, an Italian restaurant we were assured was popular, crowded and always delicious.

Unassuming from the outside…

.

.

And not at all crowded on the inside, I was beginning to doubt the review.

.

.

The bar is always my husband’s preferred seating choice and since it was completely empty, we got started.

.

.

I like arincini, but have never in my life been served any this large.

Seriously, they were the size of tennis balls.

.

.

Almost as big as my blood orange and vodka spritz.

Shame they were cold in the middle and virtually tasteless. If they’d been tasty I could have eaten them as a meal.

.

.

This was supposed to be ravioli carbonara, but instead of pancetta they used ham and instead of garlic there were large chunks of onion.

The portion was huge, but again… rather tasteless.

Vowing never to return to this disappointing place, we noticed a woman walking out of a doorway adjacent to the bar with a brush and a can of hair spray.

.

.

Turns out it’s a hair salon.

Right there.

.

.

And next to the hair salon? A fitness center.

It was a regular one stop shop!

You could work out, blow out and pig out all in the same building.

Now that’s multi tasking.

🤣
