One evening, a group of us decided to splurge on a wonderful and authentic Italian dinner in Rome. The dinner was 20 euros a plate and included several courses, wine, water, and dessert. First we were served plate of salami and ham, olives, some type of breaded rice ball, fennel, mozzarella, bread, wine and both sparkling and mineral bottled water (which we were tremendously excited about since we rarely purchased water.) Then we had a pasta that had a creamy white sauce on one half and a light creamy marinara on the other. Next we had seasoned pork and some other type of meat (maybe beef?), green beans, and homemade potato chips. For the dolce course we were given a slice of pie similar to lemon meringue paired with a shot glass of diluted lemon juice. It was absolutely delicious and the small staff was extremely efficient. The woman in the photo was so lovable and gave out a few rounds of hugs and kisses to our group. The combination of a delicious dinner and such gracious hospitality made for an amazing evening, or as they say in Italy "Notte meravigliosa!"
