Just
make sure you come hungry…
My
parents and I were seated and presented a glass of prosecco with a sleeve of
pastel-colored rice-puff chips. During the course of the meal we sipped on a
bottle of Brunello di Montalcino while Sexual
Healing played for all the patrons to enjoy. We ordered the appetizer
sampler, but I’m pretty sure we got a lot more than just that and already I’m
confident this will be quite a show.

In a tiny shot glass we had whipped
gorgonzola foam with sesame seeds, and a thin sugar cookie on the side. For
lack of a better culinary term, it was da
bomb.

Out comes the pumpkin ravioli with black truffle
shavings, spaghetti carbonara, and the "pigs in the garden". I expected the ravioli to be filled with pumpkin, however there was meat inside and the pumpkin was present in the sauce. Still, very good.

To
conclude our shamefully delicious display of classic American gluttony, they
offered a glass display of fudgy chocolates to pair with our round of grappa,
compliments of the manager, Renato. Another successful dinner in Rome!
Thanks to this meal, and about 9 more in 3 days, I gained 4 lbs in Rome. It was worth every pound but I'm paying for it now. Salads just don't taste like carbonara...
I will be traveling to Rome soon, this sounds perfect for a special celebration with the family!
