the pastries and sweets...
first off, i didnt even try a cannoli there. blew my mind. I did have tiramisu, tastes the same as anywhere else, except that you can really taste the liquer. But what I quickly fell in like with is gelato. I am not a gelato person, since gelaterias in vegas and oc are pricey for such a small, non satisfying scoop. on my first day in Rome, i was alone for 6 hours. I walked the streets and ate at this cafe by myself, Giuli's Cafe. afterwards, i walked across the street and had me some gelato. I can't say it was love at first bite, because I picked creamy flavors that didn't suit my palate. but thereafter i chose fruit flavors that were perfect for the warm nights and days... a 2 scoop gelato there was like $2....TIP: go where the crowds are. Second off, NUTELLA EVERYWHERE!
not so bad to have desserts first, eh?
Birthday dinner food...
these next few pictures were taken at a restaurant in Rome, which is Michelin rated. I don't remember the name, but if you really want to know, i can ask. i am not so aware of this Michelin business, but apparently it's only given to the best fine dining places. the dinner here cost about $120-$150 USD for a meal consisting of i think 10 courses. We went here to celebrate Ingrid and my bday. Don't even ask me what I ate, because I dont think I could tell you. All I know was that it was very delicious. Most of what I ate was prepared the way TV shows like Top Chef and Iron Chef prepares food. I mean, there was foam, sorbet (not the sweet kind), etc. etc. It was also my first time eating bone marrow and oysters (not a fan of either)...
it all looks so small, but by the end of the night, we were very full and happy....and sleepy.
pizzas, pastas and more!
what makes me very upset is that i took many pictures of my trip and of what I ate on my iPhone. It's small, handy and fully capable of taking quick snap shots. Being the manana person that I am didn't save the pictures, so that when my phone crashed, all my pictures from Rome were gone! lost in cyber space never to be retrieved. Breaks my heart to this day. in any case, i must've had pizza every day for lunch and pasta for dinner. and caprese for breakfast...when in rome, right?
im hungry....thats all for now! hope you enjoyed, as for me, i think im going to olive garden...
