Foodtopia Moments



For pranzo (lunch), Mom and I were in Rome at Macondo, just up the street from Piazza Navona. Mom ordered the menu touristico (tourist menu), which consisted of bruschetta, a side salad, lasagna, and an iced tea. We shared a Caprese salad and a bottle of water. I ordered a mixed brushetta plate, which included a piece with melted mozzarella and anchovies. It was interesting, but salty. For my pasta plate, I ordered gnocchi al’amatriciana, which has pancetta in tomato sauce with a little spice to it. It was delicious.
