The wife and I spent 10 days riding through parts of Italy courtesy of Ducati. We stayed at a converted convent just outside of Dicomano were all the meals were served in a tented area outside. (see background of image)

Key to outdoor dining is weather.. and a culture that has some history of alfresco dining.. UK has neither.. Mention BBQ, guaranteed storms!!
One exception to the above, pissed after a heavy night out, kebabs, pie/fish and chips just adds the icing to the cake... Brits look great teetering on their feet with a gob full of Kebab..
