La Famiglia


Last Sunday we were invited for a family lunch by a waiter at our local restaurant.

Mimo invited us to his home about 10km from Roma centro.

He had a top floor apartment with balcony. They shared the apartment with another family.

Mimo and his wife have three lovely children, two girls aged 12 and 11 and one boy aged nine.

We got there at just after 12 and eventually were driven home at 7pm

They made us feel so welcome

Primi was antipasti, then pasta con funghi, then abbaccio (lamb) con forno, beef, schnitzel and insalata followed by dolci.

We also had wonderful wine including a barolo vino rosso

The following are some photos of this special day










Well ciao for now

i baci a tutto

  1. We have enjoyed follwoing your Italian dream so far. We love the pics and stories. Some bring back our own memories, others all quite new and interesting. We particularly like how you already have a 'local'. Wayne & Stella
