Last summer exact same meal in europe, which is why I recall: $82 (that's $2 tip for excellent service)

My kids who are starting to grasp the concept of money now count every meal here in "european pizza" units.
Last Friday $110. Calamari, 1 small pizza, 1 spaghetti with 1 meatball and a beer. Food is always great here but prices are getting almost like someone is playing a joke on me
