Il Giardino di Umberto

Editorial Review

Dreaming of “the proposal” in Tuscany, but your boy doesn’t get it? Umberto Menghi’s adorable garden enclave might make for a good second-best. The little wooden-beamed neutral-colored concrete house is famous for hosting Tom Jones on the keys. Mood is Italian wedding on Donatella’s budget. Antipasti, osso bucco and vino are a perfect match for desperate housewives and those toting a Black Amex.
