Il cibo italiano (food)

Our hotel in Rome served us breakfast and "lunch" - il pranzo italiano. We made quite a meal out of breakfast too!!

Typically I would get a plate of fresh fruit and a glass of pineapple juice. 













 I would go back to the buffet for my cornetto con la marmelata - even though they had many types, my favorite is with apricot jelly.












Sometimes, I would also get a small round sausage and scrambled eggs, but usually the cornetto and cappuccino were enough!!













A pranzo, they would serve us a primo piatto of pasta or rice, and then a secondo piatto of meat or fish. Some days we became "vegetarians" so that we could have a salad or caprese for second.











 

 And finally we would have a delicious dessert!!















A couple of times we went out for una bella pizza, but mostly we had prosciutto and mozzarella for a quick dinner!

  2. No way - I finished up that pizza and am looking forward to another! Forno a legna - they used a real brick oven heat by wood/fire to cook it!
