Oh, there's the gelato and can't forget the cappacino.
This will be the last entry from Rome. The time here has been great.
The Pizza
Locanda Barberini Ristorante
The Locanda is said to compose poetry in their kitchen; recited in the form of their dishes.
We orderted a Pizza Napoli. Thin crust. Homemade sauce. Mozzerella and anchovies. Fantastic. I didn't even know that I liked anchovies. Their specialty is "forno a legna". Conventional pizza ovens are gas or electric. Theirs is a wood fired oven, so come in knowing you will wait about 20 minutes or so. But the wait is worth it, for the flavor is unbeatable. We paired it with a Moretti Beer. It was like they were made for each other.
You can get Moretti in California. Unfortunately, you won't find Locandas.
The PastaThis family owned ristorante is located in the heart of Roma.
We ordered the baked lasagna. Their sauce and pasta are all made there on premises. This lasagna was great. I wish you could have been there to enjoy it with us. But you would have had to order your own plate because we ate ALL of ours. Fresh noodles. Molten parmesan and mozerella cheeses. Flavorful pomodoro sauce. Sitting outside in the plaza underneath the blue skies of Roma. One almost had to pinch oneself.
The PopeWe stopped at the Vatican. Gawked at the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. My wife asked if when we got home I could do our ceiling like that. Then climed the dome of the Basilica and heard the bells of St. Peter's. Offered to take the Pope out to lunch, but his schedule was a little tight.
Well, maybe next time we're in town.
Ciao

Sounds wonderful! We miss you guys, but love reading about the wonderful time you are having. Sorry lunch with the Pope didn't work out--I hear he's more of a happy hour guy anyway. As we say in California...
Peace out!
Mario, Great! I'm very happy you liked Sistine Chapel, I think it's really one of the most beautiful "works-hand-made-by-a-man".
So, now you are falled-in-love for gelato and cappuccino!! uhhuhhh! This is our normal breakfast, sooo fast!
Kisses, also to your lady ;)
