Google translate

One of the tools we've found indispensable is Google Translate. As we hit a web site that is only in Italian and Sue's beginner lessons fail us, we turn to Google's free language translator http://www.translate.google.com/

While it is pretty good, it has let us down on occasion.
The translation for "da dom a gio" is done correctly as "Sunday to Thursday".
But when we try to see what a restaurant means when it says "da dom a gio libero", google informs us that it is "Sun to wilderness camping".
There's no way I'm camping in Italy, so we choose another restaurant.
