Ronciglione

Is another cute little town just 5 mins from the lake with historical buildings from the 10th century and today we had lunch looking over one said building, the ancient tower. The whole town is built up the side of the hill and its just house on house, history on history

 

So many steps, always so many steps, well here's hoping that will show on the scales when we get home, all this fantastic Italian food BUT hoping all these Italian steps evens it out!!!! 

 

The restaurant was just off the high street and well just over the edge.

 

 

 

Amazing lunch, these guys will be getting a Sandy trip adviser review as other people really need to experience this traditional food when they visit this unique location.

Loved and amused by the English interpretation that is on the menu see no. 11

Egg in his shirt ! with asparagus on herbal mousse and ... 

And here No.23

Red dwarf potato dumpling cremated!!! ....

 

 

And our last dish was No 3

Milk pork in frosted crust ! and wild fennel perfumed wood oven!

The English descriptions were all interesting and not sure if they really helped, but the food was simply amazing and with the help of the owner/waiter we worked out what they were trying to say.

 

 

And whats the point of good food with out good wine, this local 70% chardonnay/ 30% grechetto was like cream in a bottle sooooo smooth and went so well with the first 3 courses.

 

 

A little red with complements from the owner to go with the pork

and a complementary Zibibbo and biscotti because we were Australian's and he ... well just didn't want us to leave. 

 

 

So Sandy and Muma in the kitchen sharing recipes.

 

 

While the owner showed me down to the cellar which goes for 1 mile under the old city we only explored the first 100 m and the smell of the damp and wine and cork hmmmmm.

 

 

 

So after a bit of a boozy lunch and when we were finally allowed to leave as I'm sure they were wanting to adopt us! we wandered the streets till ... well ... I was allowed to drive again.
