Eat Green, Be Happy

Luci Ancora, St Paul, MN 55105 🌿🌿🌿🌿 A very classic style, the decoration of this restaurant is sober, simple and beautiful. It has a three course prix fixe lunch for $20 dollars and a four course prix fixe dinner for $25 to $30 dollars, depending on what you choose. The food is very tasty, very well put together; they don’t just serve a regular salad or soup but a special dish. There is always a veggie option or a fish option for pescatarians like me. I recommend: Lattuga alla griglia, spaghetti napolitana, and dolci del giorno (photo). I am so happy to give Luci Ancora the highest score, four leaves. Nothing in this restaurant is one-use-only. Every decision among food and environment was very careful considered. I think the price is very affordable for the service and food, both of the highest quality. I strongly recommend this place, you will feel the love in the air.     Eat Green, Be Happy rating system 🌿🌿🌿🌿   4 leaves: All green 🌿🌿🌿.  3 le...

It might be true that the US recycles more, but it also wastes more. Maybe it is better to say that they separate the garbage, but recycling is a reality only for 20% of all their waste, except for California where 70% of the waste is recycled.  One of the first procedures I forced myself to remember anytime I went to buy food or a drink was to say "to stay, in a mug, please." Otherwise I receiv...
