Rare ninjacat123 Posted October 16, 2023 Author #232 Share Posted October 16, 2023 After the Colosseum, we were needing a bite (funny how being in Italy does that😉) so we stopped at a busy restaurant Angelina Dei Fori dal 1947. Split a pizza with fresh tomato and basil. Yum! Washed it down with an Aperol spritz. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ninjacat123 Posted October 16, 2023 Author #244 Share Posted October 16, 2023 (edited) I need to apologize to intrepid because we had reservations for L’altra Guanicia , but due to a lot of walking, rain, and adding in another taxi ride, we decided to find a place closer to home. I looked on Tripadvisor and found L’antica Fraschetta around the corner from our hotel. We were able to make 8 o’clock reservations and thank goodness we did because the place was packed and stay packed till we finished our meal at 9:45.

Rare ninjacat123 Posted October 16, 2023 Author #245 Share Posted October 16, 2023 (edited) We started with a charcuterie board, linguine and clams for me, osso buco for Craig. He ordered a fried artichoke on the side. Everything was yummy, homestyle and well served. In fact, we enjoyed ourselves so much, we are having are meal after the cruise there.
