Guided Walking and Hiking Holidays in Beautiful Garfagnana,
Tuscany Communal Dining No Single Supplement
Jan and Dave Kinder owners/operators of Tuscany
Walking write:
"We run a small business taking hikers on hikes in Northern Tuscan, a beautiful and relatively undiscovered
part of Italy. Many of our hikers are single.
We do not charge any single supplement, meals are taken together, either for breakfast (at a long "Italian"
style table), lunch (picnics or lunch at a local restaurant) or dinner which is eaten at one of
several good Italian restaurants in Barga, the town where we are based.
We are keen to attract more single travellers on our hiking holidays. We feel we represent a good quality vacation
at a very good price for singles."
Your editor believes believes this is a "great" opportunity for solos/singles.

Bucca di Beppo now offers "Buca Mio" or "Single Portions"
Bucca di Beppo, a restaurant chain known for "massive portions" and "dishes to share," now
offers single portions!
Astounding! The news appeared in an ad published in the August 15, 2007 issue of the Los Angeles Times:
"Share with family and friends or TRY OUR BUCA MIO SINGLE PORTIONS."
Sounds great, doesn't it? Not so fast . . .
This news is so new, as of 8/18/07, their website
made no mention of this innovation. Instead, your editor discovered the Buca credo: "All of our dishes are
served family style and meant to be shared."
The latter brought back memories. In 1997, when Buca was becoming known for "shared dishes" and "catering
to groups," your curious editor tried to contact corporate headquarters. My question? "How do you (DO
YOU?) accommodate solo diners in Buca restaurants set up for two or more diners?
I left several messages; an oversight, perhaps, but my question was never answered.
Buca's recent news presents other questions: Do BUCA MIO SINGLE PORTIONS constitute an invitation to solo diners
to dash out to the nearest Buca? Does this new portion size mean that Buca is rolling out the red carpet for solo
diners? And if so, where will they be seated? Communal tables?
Your editor currently has no answers but is very hopeful that this news portends a new restaurant chain welcome
for solo diners..
