Absolutely delicious @reginadeisibillini rigatoni Absolutely delicious @reginadeisibillini rigatoni al pomodoro e ricotta salata (the pasta was bought from @pigneto_41, who in the interests of Covid diversification are now selling some amazing local/local-ish products). Plus a couple of fab fish leftover from @maxplatini’s birthday lunch @lasanteriadimare yesterday and some greens for afters.

We explored the site, the only people there, for a couple of hours before being turfed out by the guards when they closed the site down completely. The next day a full and stringent lockdown was decreed which lasted for two months.

I’ve never met them, or had a discount but we’ve ordered twice and it’s been delicious both times. (How to feel less bad about using delivery apps? Be down at the front of the building as they arrive, wear a mask, tip well)
