Ah, Rome.

Rome’s being washed by heavy rain today but that’s ok. We’ll cafe hop. I had no option but to start last night’s repast with a little saucer of olives, oil and delicious bread, while awaiting the starter of a deep fried zucchino flower stuffed with mozzarella and anchovies. The pasta course was amatriciana - think rigatoni with a sauce of slowly cooked pork cheek, tomatoes and pecorino. Main course polpette, meat balls in a tomato sauce with grilled vegetables on the side. All washed down with the big house red. Dessert: only one thing needs to be on the dessert menu - tiramisu. Espresso doppia. Nice walk back to the apartment. I love Rome now after a life time of somewhat negative experiences.
