Dinner and a Car Crash

We went out to dinner with Valentino's friends. One of his friends works at the restaurant we went to, so we got a few complimentary items. The restaurant is part of a hotel and is really nice. We got so much food though. First, they brought bread, an alfredo pizza, and raw meat balls on top of lemons. We didn't eat the raw meatballs though. They also brought us all a glass of champagne. We ordered our food and I got steak and fries and Tiffany got a pasta with fish and caviar. Both were really good and Valentino asked to waiter to bring us a whole extra plate of fries because we are American. After eating the meal, the waiter brought us a plate full of desserts. There was almond biscotti, strawberries, and apple cake. We ate some of it and then they brought us some chocolates to eat. I'm sort of getting used to being full constantly. After dinner, we met with more of Valentino's friends and they wanted to go to a pub. We found one, but they said it was empty and wanted more people in it. I told them that it's empty now, but if we go inside it will be full because together we had about 8 people in our group. They agreed and we went inside and ordered drinks. We all left after one drink but it took us forever to get in the car because they all talk so much to each other. Finally, we were going out of the parking lot and Valentino's friend was going really fast to look cool. Because of how fast we were going, we almost hit a pole but he dodged it and ended up hitting a stop sign with his front right tire instead. I could not believe he knocked down the stop sign. The tire cover flew across the street, part of the bumper came off, and his tire became flat. Valentino, Tiffany, and I had to get home, so his other friends took us. I hope that his other friend's car is okay though.
Tomorrow we leave Italy, and I'm really sad to go. We've had so much fun here, and Valentino's family has been really nice.
