Italy - Eat Here




Vino e Carmino

This rustic style eatery's original restaurant is located in Bracciano, north of Rome and their location on Piazzo dell'Oro is a welcome addition. The restaurant is located near the Tiber river and a little difficult to find (even our return cab driver got lost).

To add to tonight's delight - Rome's main thoroughfare Corso Vittorio Emanuele was completely shutdown by 100's of bicycle riders protesting pollution producing gasoline/diesel engines. Our two taxi cabs stood still in the gridlock. Bicycles were victorious and we walked the last 1 km pollution-free.

Vino e Carmino was well worth the walk. The food is divine. The service is friendly, energetic and fun.

As we sipped Brandy at the insistence of our waiter - I was happy to learn taxi service had been restored to take use home to our hotel.
