Savoring Rome: A Culinary Gem Near the Vatican

🌟 Discovering Da Vito e Dina 🌟 💸 Average Cost: 29€ After a mesmerizing tour of the Vatican, we serendipitously found ourselves at Da Vito e Dina, a charming local spot that quickly became a highlight of our Roman adventure. 🍽️ First up, the ham and melon salad was a revelation! My friend and I couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow! Who knew local ham and melon could be such a perfect match?" It was a delightful surprise that set the tone for the rest of our meal. 😍 Next, we indulged in the bacon and pepper rigatoni, which was an absolute treat. The bacon had a rich, savory flavor reminiscent of the pickled meats from back home, becoming more aromatic with every bite. It was a world apart from the bacon we're used to in Japanese supermarkets. And the rigatoni? Cooked to perfection, with just the right amount of tenderness. 🍝 Our dining neighbors, a lovely pair of grandparents, suggested we try the tomato tripe. While it was tender and free from any gamey taste, I personally prefer my tripe with a bit more chew. However, my Japanese friend was pleasantly surprised and thoroughly enjoyed it. 😊 A little tip: you might want to skip the pizza here. But for everything else, Da Vito e Dina is a must-visit for any food lover exploring Rome! 🇮🇹 #RomeAdventures #FoodieFinds #TravelDiaries #HiddenGems #MustTryEats
