Miscellaneous reports - Rome

Went back to Ar Galletto. I think it’s a bit fancier than eight years ago.

Our server does the wine list (also buys the fish), he steered us to this nice Etna Bianco (€30).

Ovoli salad (€30), a treat.

Carciofo alla romana (€7), maybe the best of the trip. Stem was not bitter.

Mazzancole (€30 for four), excellent.

Half of the galletto (€22 for the whole, we split it), first chicken of the trip that was not overcooked. FInger-licking good. Potatoes were also very nice.

Strawberry gelato (€8? comped), too sweet for me.

Tartufo di Pizzo Calabro (€8? comped), new to me, chocolate and hazelnut gelato around a chocolate center.

Excellent leisurely lunch at a surprisingly modest price given the quality of the ingredients and precise cooking. Might need a reservation sometimes but it wasn’t very busy on Friday.
