Grandpa in Testaccio-Saturday's Mini Food Tour








We took Grandpa to our favorite neighborhood-Testaccio so that he could re-live some of the food experiences we had on our fantastic food tour.  First stop, Volpetti's.  grandpa was astounded.  He got salami, I broke down and bought the truffle salt.  (It is amazing how potent it is!)

Then we walked around and showed him Monte Testaccio nad went to the Mercato.  Bought a cannoli from that super baker.  Delizioso!  Checked out the bread and got some to make bruschetta, bought the tomatoes and a mound of cherries.  Such beautiful produce.

After that we strolled around some more and then ended up for pizza at Volpetti's.  Stellar.  G and I got the cippoline with parmesan.  Nothing better.  Grandpa tried the margarita and a prosciutto and spinach pie--which was so good that we all ended up eating it.  Is there something wrong with eating pizza every single day?????
