I had an overnight stay in Rome on the way home and I spent the evening walking through the city towards Trastevere, the lovely area across the Tiber from the centre of the city.
Come for a walk with me.
The river bank is lined with pretty tents with restaurants, markets and cinemas for the summer. What a great way to spend an evening in Rome.
Trastevere is a fascinating area to wander in, with a surprise at every turn.
I had dinner at Ristorante Sparita.
First course was fried zucchini flowers.
Followed by seafood pasta.
I also photographed my neighbour’s meal which was a delicious pasta with pecorino and pepper served in a Parmesan crust.
My neighbour just happened to be Jimmy Barnes (Australians will know who this is). He was there with his family and I had a delightful evening with this charming group.
The river looked amazing on the walk back to the hotel.
