Standing in Line

Fabio has an app for restaurant reviews by Michelin and there was a very highly recommended place - Trattoria Alla Madonna. It had the Michelin Man next to it which means it's worthwhile to go out of your way to eat there.

Fabio called to see if we needed a reservation but they said to show up so off we went. We found the Realto bridge easily which is impressive in Venice but it took us a few tries to find the right piazza, we kept finding just the other side if the wall.

Finally we arrived to find a line, maybe 25 people waiting. It's all in the experience right? The photo is a "where's Chris" from when we were waiting in line. Just as we were nearing the door an older couple sauntered up right behind us, nearly pushed us over and managed to skip a lot of people - very Italian.

Inside was nice. I have pics on the camera. The service was so-so. Adrian and I both had fish 'In the Venetian Way', Chris had pasta with clams and Fabio had steak. Honestly, we weren't to impressed. We decided it was not worth a trip... But the build up was fun. :)

After dinner we hunted down a primo Gelataria with many flavors including....MANGO! Totally made up for dinner :D

No idea the actual plan for tomorrow but I do know we plan to have dinner in Chiusi. This is a very small village about an hour North of Rome that has one amazing restaurant in it. It sounds a bit like a place my Mom and Daisy went to in Savannah. You show up at a certain time, pay a fee and the owner feeds you. But they assure me that once she knows I'm pescetarian she will take care if me. But until dinner, who knows what we will do.
