No starters as we had been quite piggy today!
Tamzin had the same beef as Sue did last night, so no new pic, Will had the “Undergrowth” pizza - Mozzarella, porcini mushrooms and truffle cream

I had the Bresaola, rocket and parmesan pizza

And Sue had a fish platter

The kids had puddings, not sure what though, but they looked great to a non sweet eater!

And again very reasonably priced at €102 including drinks.
Three more nights, I would be very surprised if we don’t eat here again.
Tonight we went to La Villetta, a “proper” Italian restaurant if the google reviews are to be believed. Looks good so far.

Sue and Kids had a buffet starter - here’s Sue’s:

(pizza for me and Will, sea food pasta for Sue and Wild Boar pasta for Tamzin. Tamzin said this was the best meal she has ever had! :wow: )
Then kids had dessert - profiteroles and pistachio cake.

And all under £100.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...68ed8f87b8.jpg
I love wild boar - my local butcher offers wild boar sausages, as well as venison sausages, but they quickly sell out.
Everything you have shown looks delicious! :)
You’ll be glad to know tonight was our last “blow out” night in Rome, so I won’t be bothering you quite so regularly!
I would imagine we are no different to anyone travelling abroad and limited to one location - you try a few restaurants, and then decide which one is best for your final night?
We opted for L’Aquila D’Oro - it was close, but having had two great meals this was the last supper.
Starters:
Seafood salad

Beef with mushrooms and truffle sauce (same as Sue had before)
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...d55f83ea92.jpg
Both Sue and I found the beef a bit ropey, tasted good but too much gristle.
Kids had desert, a crème brûlée- mum and dad had another Aperol Spritz!

And that is that, a week off from cooking but now back to the reality of life!
You'll need more than 12,000 steps to walk that lot off, but it all looks great :) Bet you're not missing Hungry Horse pubs one bit.
Iskendar lamb kebab and rice, with a couple of glasses of a 2022 Château de la Grand Tour, Cuvée Phoebe, Bordeaux.

Lasagne and salad.
Looks good Roy. :)
