Due to being in a carbohydrate induced coma I am using the iPad for the post tonight. Let me be direct.......Steven and I just had a smack down....the score Italian food 2, Ken and Steven 0. We stopped at this small cafe just down the street form our hotel. We proceeded to order the spaghetti and a pizza with the intent of splitting each between the two of us. We topped the dinner off with a half bottle of white wine. Here is the script of how things went down:
Spaghetti arrives at the table. Steven and I split the portion. Ken takes a bite of spaghetti, and let it be known I NEVER eat spaghetti. I proceeded to almost fall out of my chair. I let out a sigh and proclaimed to Steven this was the best spaghetti I have ever had in my life. I am sure the entire cafe heard me. I mean with every bite, I was trying to make it last. You know that entree that is so good you are afraid you will eat it to fast and not taste every flavor. My tongue had officially been smacked down.
Pizza arrives. Prosciutto and funghi. Although I was surprised to not care that much for prosciutto on pizza, I must admit the pizza was good.
Total cost for dinner 35 euros. I tell you this for a reason.
We stopped short of having dessert only to walk down the street and find a gelato place. We immediately have a seat and order a banana split with gelato and five scoops of gelato in a Sunday fashion. We topped it off with a coke for me and cappuccino for Steven. I ordered a large glass of ice. For those of you that have traveled to Europe you know ice is worth its weight in gold. The drinks arrive and my ice arrives. I made an absolute fool of myself. I was eating the ice like an idiot. Steven was busting out laughing, but the ice was my best friend. The gelato was excellent and the servers were so nice.
Total cost for gelato 38,50 euros. Now you know exactly why I tell you the cost. We spent more on gelato than dinner. But hey.....both were worth every single absolute penny, euro, rupee, or whatever currency you had to exchange to get the meal we had tonight.
Tomorrow..........private tour of the Vatican.
