At work a bunch of us are in what we call the "Tiny Lunch Club". Basically, every once in a while we do a potluck of tiny foods, according to a theme.

Today the theme was Little Italy.

Fantastic idea and superb execution - that is brilliant and thanks for sharing. My mouth is watering just looking at those stunning images.

Did I see tiny pizzas in one of the pictures, too?

The tiny pizzas are actually just stickers, for decoration. Amazingly enough no one made tiny pizzas because everyone thought they were too obvious and assumed someone else was going to make them. :D

We also had a "italian dinner music" spotify playlist playing. :)

Ah, I wear glasses, so I wasn't sure whether those pizzas were coasters, stickers, or actual pizzas. It did occur to me to think that you would have remarked upon them, had they been real.

Still, it is a stunning spread - I was salivating as I scrolled down the page.

Hope you hugely enjoyed the fun of tucking into that delicious "Little Italy" feast. And Italian music, too, how simply wonderful.
