Da Giggetto a Roma

Pretty good, I must admit. The roast lamb, a Roman specialty, is wonderful. The house wines are awful. A bottle of Gianpaolo Paglia's Guazza (Ansonica, Vermentino) was lovely and a bargain at 16€.

We are sitting here at the table, watching the crowd and listening to the celebrations of Israel Memorial Day. The kids are draped in Israeli flags and the band just ceased playing the Top 10 of world Zionism, I guess. A lot of energy and fun. I've seen the same 4 guys, I swear, walking up and down wearing yarmulkes.

Strong police presence. Overtime for talking on the cell phone. Tutto il mondo e' paese. "People are people."

This is mad nice.

Vicino a Giggetto è ottima pure la Taverna del Ghetto. E costa meno!

Close to Gigetto and la taverna del ghetto, there is also Sora Lella, more expensive but the food is far better than both above mentionned restaurants :-P

The food wasn't so great but we greatly enjoyed the big street party. Rome has a lot of energy, especially last night. Wonderful.

Just landed in NY. And are my arms tired!

Il piacere era il nostro.

And it's nice to get a Tuscan white with some character!
