MAMMA MIA IS ALIVE AND WELL AND COOKING AT DELL'OMO

We had an amazing dining experience last night. We ventured around the corner and down the street from our hotel to a little restaurant called DELL'OMO .......what a fabulous adventure. When we arrived, the door was closed and the place was dark, but we had been told it opened at 7pm, and knowing the Italian custom of later dining, we had waited until 7:03....we're getting the hang of these Italian customs. We pushed the door open, and called in, and saw something stirring at the back of the narrow restaurant. We walked in and the lights came on, and out shuffled Mama from the kitchen and started talking to us.......not a word of English, but made us feel very welcome. She took Donna into the kitchen to show her some trays of food, and the next thing we knew, we had wine on the table and we were watching her slice from the big leg of pork that was right behind Jane. Out came the prosciutto and melon........so good. Next came ravioli and spaghetti, unbelievable, then stuffed yellow pepper....to die for, and then Tiramisu like you have never had. When Mama's son brought the bill he also brought a bottle of liquer, none of us were too sure what it was but it was a gift, so we indulged. When we left, the place was packed. It was the best meal we have had so far, and just like it said in trip advisor, you felt you were in their home sitting at the kitchen table. Very special way to enjoy our last night in this amazing city. Stay tuned......
