Wanting to avoid having too many carb-loaded meals, I’ve
only had foccaccia pizza for breakfast once since I arrived. This was an
everyday occurrence in previous years. The past couple of days, I actually ate
a can of tonno con pisselle (tuna with peas) for breakfast. It comes in a
tomato and oil based sauce, and I really love the taste. In the US, I’ve seen
this Rio Mare brand, but only Mexican style with mais e fagiole (corn and
beans). The peas version is the best I’ve tried.
Tonight for dinner Mom, Zia and I headed back to Ristorante
Netti for the first time in a week. I had a beautiful plate of cozze al vino
bianco (mussels in white wine sauce), Zia had some fresh soglia all'acqua pazza (sole in crazy water), and Mom had a pizza capriciossa with caperi (capers),
prosciutto cotto (cooked ham), caraciofini (artichokes), olive neri (black
olives), and funghi (mushrooms). Mom had a pizza like this last year at a hotel
in Rome and loved it. Tonight was the first time she had it at Netti’s.
Before we went to Netti’s tonight, I called ahead and
inquired about tiramisu. It is the best I’ve ever tasted. They didn’t have any
ready, but said if we would like it they could make some. So I preordered two
portions. They did not disappoint. Ristorante Netti still has the best Tiramisu
I’ve ever eaten.
