I have been looking for a fun, modern coastal look, blue and white pattern pasta bowl set for a long time when I came across the Santorini pattern at Vietri. These fit the bill perfectly so I took a chance. The quality of Vietri is amazing, the patterns on the bowls are beautiful and I expect I will be adding the Santorini fish pattern pasta bowls to my sets. The size is perfect for pasta dishes, salads, soup or even most dinner servings. I will get a lot of use out of these. The value on these is excellent. I just love these! Thanks Vietri for ending a several year search.
