Dal Baffetto

Another day, another fantastic day. Woke up earlier than my roommates (this is going to be a common refrain. perhaps I shall shorten this to "woke up"), went to the market by myself to see what I could see. Got some cheese and a little thing of bread from a baker there. The bread was fantastic. Super good, and 40 euro cents. Life is good.

Much of the rest of the day was spent trying to eat as little as humanly possible in hopes that somebody wanted to go to Dal Baffetto with me for pizza for dinner. Some of the girls were talking about going "somewhere Jackie wanted to go" for pizza, but they weren't sure where. Well, at 6 PM I go upstairs and lo-and-behold Jackie wanted to go to the same pizza place in Rome I did. She had been, and confirmed that it was in fact the best pizza in Rome, as the InterGoogles had told me.

It was in fact the best pizza in the world. Amazing. Mom & Dad: we are eating at Dal Baffetto one night you are here. Your job is to find out what the nice restaurants are for those kind of meals, but one night I am definately treating y'all to the best pizza of your life (not to build it up or anything).

We then went out to the Piazza Navona, and went to Giolittis (slight detour) for desserts. Had a cannolo. Delicious again. Seriously, best eating night of my life. I was so happy I was glowing. Then we stopped by the Pantheon, and it for whatever reason was open at night.

Overall, a great night. Tomorrow I go to Orvieto and come back to the Notte Bianca and the ND-Penn State game, so that should be a full day.

"Best food night of my life"????
Better than coney dogs at the lake? Better than rice and beans and Jiffy corn bread?
Are you sure?
