Avery Tarbet
Hi!!! My name is Avery Tarbet and I am from Frisco, Texas. I am a rising junior majoring in Marketing and minoring in Advertising. Studying abroad in Arezzo has been the most amazing experience! I’ve been opened up to a whole new culture and understanding of food and writing that I am able to express through this article from one of my favorite spots, Miva!

The Perfect Meal
After a long day of walking up and down the streets of Arezzo, Miva sounded like the perfect way to finish off our day. A group of us headed to the restaurant with empty stomachs, ready to have a taste of Arezzo.
As we stepped inside Miva, the smell of freshly cooked pasta lingered throughout the air. After quickly being seated in a cozy wooden booth, we were happily greeted by our server with OU in Arezzo menus. The menu was filled with a wide variety of options ranging from french fries – an American classic – to Italian classics, such as pizzas and pasta.
The gnocchi caught my eye as I was craving the light, chewy, dumpling-like pasta. After reviewing the menu, I was eager to order. I requested the gnocchi sorrentina, pairing it with a glass of crisp house white wine.
As we waited for our meals, we enjoyed fresh bread drizzled with peppery olive oil. However, we did not have to wait for long! Our food was brought out swiftly and my mouth began to water.

The sizzling hot, vibrant dish was beautifully topped with fresh basil and creamy, tangy mozzarella. At the first bite, the flavors captured the Italian cuisine perfectly, making a lasting impression on my taste buds and stomach.
The light and fluffy gnocchi effortlessly complemented the earthy and savory tomato sauce. I washed my meal down with the refreshing wine. The sweetness of the wine paired exquisitely with my heavenly dinner.
My authentic, Italian dinner had me ready to go back for more the next day! Miva is an excellent spot to stop in when looking for a quick, traditional bite to eat. Miva features a great range in its menu and truly is an ideal place to satisfy any of your cravings.
