LASAGNA

So last night, my whole family went to dinner. Instead of planning out where we wanted to go (well, we tried to do that, but it turns out none of us can successfully navigate these streets) we just walked around the back streets of our neighborhood and stumbled upon a place called "Papa Rex". It was obviously a really nice place, and we were seated in the bottom dining room because we were not dressed nicely enough. At first we started out with like...3 servers, but we ended the night with one extremely excitable man, Vincenzo. He was by far the nicest person we've met so far. He helped us through a magnificent dinner of salads, spaghetti al pomodoro, veal steaks, roasted potatoes, saltimboccas, tiramissou, and limoncella. One thing I did not mention was the LASAGNA. Before every main course in Italy, you're supposed to eat a pasta dish first. My dad was just interested in seeing what Vincenzo suggested, so he asked him to surprise him. And that's exactly what Vincenzo did. He brought out a little slice of heaven from that kitchen. Literally, it was the best thing I have EVER put in my mouth. And honestly, I don't think I will ever encounter something better than that slice of lasagna. It was MAGNIFICENT.

Anyway, after dinner, Vincenzo wanted to hang out with us. So he took us around the restaurant and showed us where, if you pay for a themed dinner, the fake Roman soldiers battle to the "death" for your entertainment. That part of the restaurant definitely makes it sound a lot cheesier and kitschier than it actually was. It was marvelous.

Alright, I'm sharing internet and computers right now, and father has requested mine so he can find information about our Vatican tour that we're taking later today. I'll post again later!
