From all the research that we did while planning this trip one of the tips we have found most useful has been eat off the Piazza, eat away from the main sites, not too far just a block or two.
Today was payday!
After the prolonged postal experience we needed to
be able to sit and relax a little, and we found the perfect spot. While wandering the streets of Rome the other night we came across a little trattoria, we'd already eaten so vowed to come back and eat another time. Mama was sitting in the middle of the restaurant chopping garlic and the staff couldn't be more helpful. So we found it again today and stopped in for lunch. The smaller restaurants that are family run and only have a hand full of tables inside are the best finds - excellent service, lovely intimate feel and fresh and simple ingredients that make for a great meal. We both started with bruschetta - delicious! Most will know I am not a tomato fan (it's me Katie!) however, I could have quite happily sat there all afternoon and feasted on their heavenly, juicy tomatoes with garlic and olive oil upon crusty bread. We both enjoyed our pasta - handmade of course - Shannon had the gnocchi with a pomodoro sauce (tomato) and I enjoyed the ravioli with a butter and pecorino cheese sauce. I'm secretly hoping Shannon will want to go back for dinner! Tonight is our last night in Rome - tomorrow morning we leave for our week in Tuscany.
The best Roman meal we've had!
A lovely roman street - ps this is not the restaurant we ate at.
