Mafia: The Old Country Guide: 'Chapter 7 – Spirito Sportivo' Walkthrough & Collectibles
Mafia: The Old Country Guide: Chapter 7 – Spirito Sportivo We begin this chapter in a warehouse down by the docks near Potro Almaro. Leo and Cesare will wander outside, but before following them, on the left side on the wall you'll find a Lockbox and Charm: Astuto. In the side room with the cars, there's another Lockbox tucked away. Once you're done, head outside and speak with Leo. Not long after, a racing car will be towed out from the garage. Head over and inspect it to continue. Get in the towing car / Drive to Pasquale's Back to top ↑ Hop into the towing car and follow the marker to Pasquale's Gas Station. On the way though, we can pick up a fair few goodies on the road. When you pass a pink house (just after heading uphill and on the winding path back and forth). Park up next to the gates and by the two benches, you'll find Newspaper: Easter Celebrations. Onthe other side of the bridge, on the first road to the left, you'll find a Trinacria. Just beyond this, a little further on the main path, you'll find three men talking. On one of the barrels, you'll be able to grab Newspaper: Grand Duke Killed. Directly across the road, you'll find a graveyard tucked away just near the train tracks. If you park up right next to the gates and race inside (a timer will tick down for 15 seconds but you should get it in time), you can get Saints Card: San Giuda Taddeo. Finally we'll make it to Pasquale's. You'll also find Newspaper: Workers Strike on a table just in the corner Now, go and chat with Pasquale. Follow Leo / Speak with Leo's contact We'll now find ourselves in San Celeste at night. Follow Leo along the street and when you regain control, sneak past four bodyguards to reach him. Sneak past the Marquis' guards Back to top ↑ Once you regain control, take the stairs immediately to your left. At the top, sneak up behind the first guard and choke him out. Follow the upper walkway all the way around and near the end, Leo will appear behind a gate and distract the next guard for you. Move in and take him out as well. You can now head straight across the courtyard into the open door. Just ahead, there'll be a woman in blue. Look to the left of her near a bench surrounded by plants and you'll find a Mystery Fox. Continue up the stairs and you'll find a woman sitting at a desk. Just next to her is a Note: Alfredo's Love Letter. Exit through the balcony door, hop over the railing, and cross the rooftops to reach the next building. Get a better view Back to top ↑ Inside the room, you'll find a Trinacria on the left, Charm: Medicale on the right and a Note: Chasing Shadows. Continue into the next room and head to the open window. Enzo will pull out his camera automatically. Take a photo of the Marquis inside to earn Photograph: Marquis Siragusa. Bring the photo to Leo / Follow Leo Hop the railing just ahead and descend the ladder to rejoin Leo on the street below. Follow him a short distance until he's picked up in a car. We'll then jump forward to the next day. Race the train Back to top ↑ You'll now be behind the wheel of the newly repaired car. On the road to your right, a train will appear and race alongside you. If you manage to beat the train to the finish line, you'll unlock the Achievement: Full Steam Ahead. This is quite straightforeard and requires yoy to basically slamon the accelerator and not stop. You can ease up slightly on a few of the tighter corners but otherwise floor it and try to stay on the road, rather than veering into the grass. If you fail, you can restart the checkpoint and try again. Pick up Leo / Drive back to Pasquale's Back to top ↑ After your successful ride, Leo will hop into the car. Drive him back to Pasquale's Gas Station but just after picking him up, lets grab some more collectibles, shall we? On the road, look to your right where you'll see a farmstead. You'll be able to just faintly see a Mystery Fox between the buildings (pictured below). Continue on the road and just after the vineyard to the right and the purple flowers, you'll find a building with a red tarp outside. Park up, head up the stairs and you'll find another Mystery Fox here. Go over the plan with Leo Back to top ↑ When you arrive, make your way over to Leo and talk through the details of the race ahead. Win the race Back to top ↑ Now it's time to race. You'll be competing against five other cars in a sprint circuit that covers a large portion of the map. To progress the story, you'll need to finish in first place. There's also a time-based Achievement: Fastest Man in Sicily which requires you to complete the race in under 8 minutes. The race isn't too tricky but it's worth noting that there are shortcuts littered around the course that you'll get verbal cues about as you drive through. Win the race to trigger a series of cutscenes, prompting another time jump where you'll be at an afterparty. Speak with Leo / Speak with Isabella Back to top ↑ Once you regain control, you'll be at the celebration. You're free to wander and chat with guests like Luca and Pasquale, but to continue, you'll need to find Leo. He'll point you in the direction of Isabella. Head down the stairs by Luca and Valentina and walk along the waterfront. Near a crate on your left, you'll find Newspaper: Amazing Inventions if you haven't grabbed it from earlier in the game. Giuseppe is standing nearby for a quick conversation too, and at the end of the pier you'll find Isabella. Speak with her to continue. Walk with Isabella to the photo spot After your chat, walk with Isabella back to the party and interact with Cesare so she can take a picture. Doing so will unlock Photograph: The Winning Team. Once the photo is taken, the chapter will come to a close. In doing so, you'll also gain the Achievement: Everything's Golden.

Cala Vista: Could this be one of the best Italian restaurants in Dubai?
When you think you've tried all the best Italian restaurants in Dubai… There are some restaurants you hear about, mentally bookmark, but never make it to – until one day, you finally do. For me, Cala Vista, Mina Al Salam was one of them. It opened last year while I was away. Now that I'm back, I've been slowly catching up on all the spots I missed – and let me tell you, Cala Vista officially landed on my 'can't wait to go back' list. I thought I was just checking out another Italian restaurant – turns out, I was late to one of Dubai's best. I know, I know, Dubai isn't exactly lacking when it comes to Italian restaurants – the creamy burratas and tiramisus – we've seen it all. But every now and then, one stands out – and Cala Vista is one of those places. Why? Let's start with the setting Because whether we mean to or not, most of us are wired to judge with our eyes first – and when the setting is on point, everything else gets an early win. At Cala Vista, you're seated right in front of Burj Al Arab – not in the distance, not peeking through buildings, but in full view. Sure, we've seen it from every angle, but this one still stands out – cinematic, a little surreal, always magical. And when the food lands, the same attention to detail carries through. It looks every bit as good as it tastes. The food While I've had more Italian dinners than I can count, this one had a certain spark. We started with the Burrata Pomodori (Dhs95) – creamy and exactly how you want your burrata to be. Then came the Fritto Misto (Dhs135), perfectly crisp and ideal for sharing. The Insalata di Agrumi (Dhs70) – a citrus salad – added a clean, bright contrast to the richness of the other dishes. For mains, the La Piccant e pizza (Dhs125) brought just the right amount of heat with spicy salami. The Agnolotti (Dhs140) – braised oxtail ravioli with aged balsamic – was a favourite. Rich, warming, and deeply satisfying. The Tagliolini al Limone (Dhs130) a signature dish, with homemade pasta tossed in Parmigiano Reggiano. And if you're going with friends, the La Milanese (Dhs310) is the one to share. We finished with two desserts: Il Limone (Dhs70), a lemon sorbet served inside a hollowed Amalfi lemon. And the Bomboloni (Dhs50), fluffy Italian doughnuts with a chocolate dip – easily a favourite. Vista Brunch If you're into the brunch scene in Dubai and love Italian food, Cala Vista should definitely be on your list. Every Sunday, from 12.30pm to 4pm, Head Chef Luca and restaurant manager Pasquale are hosting the Vista Brunch – an Italian-style lunch inspired by their family Sundays growing up. Expect sharing starters, pasta mains, classic sides, and indulgent desserts. There's live music from a roaming band, making it feel like a true celebration of la dolce vita. Cala Vista, Jumeirah Mina Al Salam, Jumeira St, Al Sufouh 1. Tel: 800 323 232. @calavistadubai Images: Supplied/Instagram > Sign up for FREE to get exclusive updates that you are interested in
