Love Rome as well

At the risk of sounding like oxygen stealer Edward Smallman, I stayed in the Waldorf Astoria when i was there.

When in Rome etc

Just make sure you walk around the place nodding and saying “commendetore” to everyone you see, Grant.

Why bother with Rome when you can get a delicious Loyd Grossman sauce from pretty much all major supermarkets these days? Much better then the shite you’ll end up with out there.

Big plate of spag bol and chips, pint of lambrini and that fat bloke off the bbc 1 italia ’90 theme song singing in the backround, sure you wouldn’t know the difference!

Anyone rewatched the HBO/ BBC-show Rome? Does it hold up?

Hursty

Homegrove Nope, Spartacus however…

Given the colouring on those chips, they are the oven variety which elevates that plate to elite level. It was already heading there with the huge splodge of ketchup but the complete disregard for proper homemade chips, in favour of some oven ready ones makes it a classic.

Spent a week there in 2019 to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. Pierluigi for a special meal . The seafood is to die for and I’d also suggest Ristorante le Tamerici for some perfectly executed classics (Tuna puttanesca was delicious)

You need to book well in advance Grant, so get on the phone!

I went to one of Tucci’s recommendations in Florence and loved it…. I dropped Stanley Tucci’s name and was treated like a king - given free dishes etc… this place.. osteria del cinghiale bianco:
