Very seasonal puntarelle - Rome's traditional vegetable with anchovy sauce |


It was a beautiful sunny day and I didn't even need a jacket.



I joined a walking tour of Vatican. Unbelievable experience.

In the evening, I met with my friend Hiroto, he's been living in Rome for over 15 years. He's a food & wine professional. He first took me to a local bar/ restaurant for aperitivo.


Then, we walked to a traditional Roman trattoria, Osteria dell'Angelo, which is popular among locals.


Hiroto is a regular at this restaurant and knows everybody there. The owner, Angelo, is such a sweet guy.


Everybody there was so sweet.





Wonderful dinner! After antipasti, we had amatriciani, cache e pepe, very seasonal puntarelle, veal shake, etc. I was so full.

Then, we strolled in the city. Had some late night coffee at a popular caffe.


Then, gelato.

What a fantastic full day in Rome!
