Our first day was exciting to say the least. We were delayed for three hours in Philly but were able to squeeze in lunch and dinner and a nap once we arrived in Italy. I even was able to meet with my nephew who is living here for a few months. Joe was very thirsty when we landed and throw the waiter a curve with his first drink order, a one liter of Italian beer.
We had lunch at Cucina Italiana Cotto. I had salmon thinly sliced with arugula, feta cheese and sliced orange . Very lite and refreshing selection for lunch.
Joe couldn't resist getting a pizza with salume, very good, served uncut with a knife and fork.
A stop in Rome can not be complete without a stop at the Trevi Fountain. With thousands of people from all over the world and from every walk of life gathering together to marvel at one of Italy's and the worlds famous fountain. I've grown to love it so much that I called our restaurant by its name.
Walking the streets can be very inspiring being in the food business with all the food that is on display. From the sandwiches, to the pastry shops, everything in abundance and beautifully made.
For dinner we went to my father's favorite restaurant, Macaroni, its located in the Pantheon area. We started with Proscuitto, Mozzarella and Pecorino, walnuts and honey. For dinner, I had tornelli carbonara, excellent.
We finished the night with a night cap with my nephew in Piazza Nuovona.
(Pictures to come, my computer is giving me a hard time with downloading them, I will post some on TreVi's facebook page)
