A few weeks ago we took a day trip to Bracciano, a small town just north of Rome. I was looking for any reason to escape the crowds and Bracciano has a lake, a medieval castle, and was easy to reach by train.
The castle was build at the end of the 15th century but is now a museum with period furniture and weapons on display.
We are near the tourist district in Rome so there are tons of restaurants with pasta and pizza, most of them only average. In Bracciano we lucked upon an excellent restaurant. The owner / waiter was extremely friendly as he tried to help us order. He then proceeded to cook the food. This required lots of banging dishes and a fair amount of time, but the end result was worth it.
Still following with great interest!. Patrick and I are headed to Rome next year, would appreciate any tidbits or advice. Want to see the Vatican is Patrick’s main thing. Love the food pics.
What is the food in the photo? Were you guys the only customers?
We were the only customers, likely because we were eating an early lunch. And I don’t know the name of the food. Actually, I don’t think I ever knew it. The waiter did not speak any English, so I ordered in Spanish / Italian and took his suggestions.
