Pasta Ceci e Vongole
At Da Luca, we had dinner — pasta ceci e vongole. Luca made it, and it was cinema, brother. Really good, classic Roman dish.
Polmone Rognone Fegato
We had the quinto quarto — lung, kidney, liver from Bacchio. It's the fifth quarter, the offal, and it's a real Roman specialty. Really good stuff.
