Ellen Pompeo‘s kids are future foodies!

TheGrey’s Anatomystar recently enjoyed a family getaway in Florence, Italy, bringing her three adorable youngsters along for the ride:Eli Christopher, 17 months, Sienna May, 3½, and Stella Luna, 8½.

Alongsidea cute photoof Eli enjoying a long pasta noodle (with sauce on his face, of course!), Pompeo wrote, “Ciao Firenze …. we came we saw we conquered! 💋❤👊🏼”

She alsoshared a snapof Sienna holding up a conefilled with gelato andmaking a menacing face, captioning it, “What people don’t know is I took my bodyguard to Florence with me…. she’s fierce and yes a legend and yes takes her gelato very seriously.”

The sweet photos are a far cry from an incident the star faced on Friday, when someone snatched her purse during her visit to the Italian city. “My purse was stolen from right under my nose!!” shewrote on Instagram, adding jokingly, “I blame the rosé!!”

Luckily,Pompeo’s bag was recovered— a good thing for both the starandthe thief, as Pompeo was ready for a fight to reclaim her belongings.

“Grazia to who ever stole it for dropping it on the street exactly in tact,” she continued. “I was tracking my phone and chasing you down… had I caught you… it would not have ended well for you… I am nice but lets not forget my heritage… NAPOLITANO…. hai furtuno y io hai destine 👊🏼🇮🇹😘.”

“I just went for my yearly appointment a couple of weeks ago and [Dr. Kristi Funk] told me about her book,” Pompeo told PEOPLE at the April launch party for Dr. Funk’s bookBreasts: The Owner’s Manualin Hollywood. “Since then my whole family has gone completely vegan.”
