A Rainy Night In Roma

A friend is in town and we got together early this week. Grace and I have known Laura for somewhere around ten years. The years have been kind to her and we sat here in my "Campo 36 Office" for quite a while talking about all that was new with one another. Sad thoughts as well as laughter. Time came for her to pick up her grandson and we quickly planned a nice meal...her daughter's place or a nice restaurant.

Time and planning came down on the side of a restaurant. So we figured we would meet at "the office" and go from there. Since I am seldom late, I was sitting and watching as the skies opened...not a good start at all. I called her and decided to sit on a decision for a few more minutes and she would call back. She showed up instead, on the arm of her son that had just flown in from Berlin.As the rain was on slow for the moment I made a command decision and we walked up the street to a place that I have been to on several occasions, Lucefero's.

Neither Laura or Theo had ever been there, despite their combined time in Rome of over 60 years. All of us had a wonderful time, great meals and a wish to return. The answer in our case is, Veal, Veal and Carpaccio...the meals. 
Intimate is a good description. Ristorante?Trattoria? Don't know or care. Good food, good feelings and good people are all the info I want or need.

I still have two months left so I expect at least one more visit...all readers can talk to me!

Have to close, some politician is taking over the Campo.This will be perfect for me...I won't understand a single lie!

Buona Notte!
