Cool! As wonderful as Italy is, there's sadly little tiki (that I know of). I happened upon an old restaurant called "Kon Tiky" outside the resort town of Palinuro. It was probably tiki at some point, but looked more "rustico italiano" when I was there last year. Also, in Napoli there was a pizza place & bar called Mai Tiki. I only saw it from a car in heavy traffic. During a later visit to Napoli, I returned to the location to find it had closed. Trader Woody: You're gonna love Venice, but don't get your hopes up about the Bora Bora. When I was there, it looked to be a pretty standard Italian restaurant catering to tourists. I saw a sign for it & w/ heart palpitations dragged Emi down the alley to it & peeked in all the windows. No tiki or evidence of ever having any tiki decor. (It looks like it could be a decent restaurant. But in Venice, there's no reason to eat something decent, when there's so much excellent food!) Despite the lack of tiki, you'll certainly find plenty of great bars w/ lots of evocative atmosphere! Ciao, Tiki Chris
