Shelves of a carved oak dresser with olive oil, a mantel clock and a miniature painted Sicilian cart

Dinner by the bay la sala

One wall of the dining room is the sea: a painted Sicilian harbour, turquoise water, a town climbing the hill behind it.

Cart wheels hang on the walls. A little painted carretto stands on the old oak dresser, between the olive oil and the clock. A living wall of green frames the door, and every table is laid with a white cloth and a few small flowers. Step in off a Cambridge street and you are on the Sicilian coast.
