Slavito http://www.sitebits.com/2007/drinking-champagne-trevi-fountain.html Wed, 31 Oct 2007 02:25:00 EDT I'm almost ashamed to admit that I'd never tried this kind of mozzarella before. It is kind of watery, but the taste is wonderfully fresh... Slavito http://www.sitebits.com/2007/mozzarella_di_bufala_le_volte.html Mon, 06 Aug 2007 01:45:00 EDT I was about to start my visit at Galleria Borghese in Rome when a sudden bout of hunger hit my travel companion. I'd already eaten lunch that day, but being compassionate and all, I agreed to accompany him to the cafeteria before embarking on the gallery tour. <br><br> The cafeteria at Galleria Borghese is a typical museum joint selling coffee and sandwiches to the museum's visitors. Our choice of a lunch spot wasn't completely random - I'd walked past it before, as we were waiting for our tickets, and I'd already made a mental note that one particular sandwich could be good... the one which later turned out to be the best sandwich in Rome (pictured)...

It's also one place in Rome where you probably won't run into your neighbors from Nebraska, your roommate from the hostel, or anyone other than Roman grandpas with little kids in tow. <br><br> The entire Zoo is in a gentle state of decay, and the reptile room was vaguely "under construction" when we visited (that is to say, Not Open).
