I love curly fries, and these were pretty good. I wonder if they make their own or if these come frozen. Either way, they were perfectly fried and not too greasy.

Spaghetti in puttanesca sauce – Tordomatto
Dried herbs. “Tradition” tasting menu €65
Tordomatto, Rome ITALY
There was just a single swirl of this spaghetti on the plate, but it was a satisfying one! The noodles were more al dente that I’m used to but it worked to hold up to the intense flavor of the sauce and the fine dried herbs on top. It was spaghetti like I’ve never tasted before!

Tagliatelle alla bolognese – La Biga
Homemade tagliatelle pasta in a bolognese sauce. €12
La Biga, Rome ITALY
This tasted fine, but that yellow light made all the food look sickly! But I guess why look at your food, when you can look out and enjoy the amazing view of the Colosseum in front of you!
Buffalo chicken wings – Harvey’s
Served with ranch dressing, carrots and celery. 6 pieces $8.95
Harvey’s, San Francisco CA
I suppose anything covered in buffalo wing sauce can’t be that bad. These were still on the dry side though, but I didn’t expect much at Harvey’s…

Trattoria Sora Lella, Rome ITALY
These potato gnocchi were just lovely! They were fluffy enough and the sauce was killer with the pork cheeks. SO tasty!!!
Red wine and snacks – BAR (Campo de’ Fiori)
Bottle of Montepulciano red wine, bruschetta, and potato chips.

This wasn’t very good, but I had to come to this place for old times sake. I went here a lot during college when I took a class in Rome. I was feeling nostalgic.
Steak nachos – Escena Lounge & Grill
Tortilla chips, 3 cheese blend, pico de gallo, sour cream, guacamole. $12
Escena Lounge & Grill, Palm Springs CA
Meh… This was just REALLY dry! The steak was dry, the chips were dry, the pico was dry. It’s like this thing sat under the salamander for 15 minutes before getting topped for serving. Geez!
