Sofia Vergara gathered a few friends and headed off for a summer vacation to Italy, which the actress affectionately calls her “happy place.”
On Thursday night, the former Modern Family star took to her Instagram page to share a recap of her first night in the seaside town of Forte dei Marmi in northern Tuscany, sharing three photos and a video of their fancy lobster and seafood dinner.
The cover photo shows the actress and model leaning over her boyfriend Pietro Tavallini, her cleavage nearly spilling out of her dress, inches from the top of his head.
The public relations man and agent made the photo even more striking by closing his eyes and holding one index finger in front of his mouth to indicate whether he was being quiet or whispering.
As Vergara leaned over her friend, viewers also got a good look at her two gold necklaces and at least two matching gold bracelets and rings.
Sofia Vergara, 52, got frisky with her boyfriend Pietro Tavallini as they went out for dinner with Anastasia Soare and Luis Balaguer at a fancy seafood restaurant on their first night out

That evening she had her long brown locks styled long and straight, well past her shoulders, with a center parting.
While at the restaurant, the two friends continued their act and posed again at their table with a huge lobster that was on the menu that night.
Vergara held up one of the lobster’s long tentacles, while Tavallini, dressed in a black T-shirt and white pants, posed a few feet away from her, holding the tail aloft.
While the two friends were happily eating one of the evening’s main courses, Anastasia Soare and Luis Balaguer were seated opposite them.

The post concluded with a video of some of the seafood dishes that made it to the table of four, including two lobsters, fresh bread and a shrimp dish, to name a few.
Around the same time, Vergara shared a photo of herself and Soare in the restaurant lobby, dressed in their respective outfits for the evening.
‘[Let] “Dinner is starting @anastasiasoare,” she announced in the caption as they stood a few feet apart before sitting down at the table.

After dinner, the foursome went for a walk along a busy street in Forte dei Marmi, although it was Balaguer who had to take this photo and serve as photographer
Balaguer passed the camera to Tavallini, who then took video of the other three as they ate their dinner and enjoyed the scenery

Afterwards, Vergara, Tavallini and Soare briefly walked arm in arm on a busy walking trail not far from the restaurant.
“Happy place,” is how the Colombian woman described Italy using several Italian flag emojis.
The picturesque town of Forte dei Marmi, in northern Tuscany, overlooking the Ligurian Sea, lives largely from tourism.
Forte dei Marmi is known as one of the main destinations that attracts the Italian upper class. In the summer months Forte dei Marmi has a population of 7,700, which almost triples due to all the tourists who come from areas such as Florence, Milan, Germany and Russia, according to Wikipedia.
Vergara recently became single again after divorcing her ex-husband Joe Manganiello in July 2023 after seven years of marriage. She has been in a romantic relationship with orthopedic surgeon Dr. Justin Saliman since October of last year.
