Haha, those little frogs! I've been to Fiore di Zucca a bunch of times and never noticed them, honestly. Maybe they're just a fun thing the owner likes? Or maybe it's a subtle inside joke... a secret menu item unlocked by finding a frog with a specific marking? I'm now obsessed with this mystery! Next time I'm in Rome, I'm going on a frog hunt.

Wow, a frog hunt! I love it. I never thought of it as anything more than a quirky decoration. A secret menu item sounds amazing though... maybe a hidden pasta dish called "Rana Rara"? Cacio e pepe is definitely a must-try anywhere, but hearing you rave about Fiore di Zucca's version makes me even more excited. I'll definitely try the carbonara too - thanks for the tip! Maybe we should start a dedicated Fiore di Zucca frog-spotting subreddit... just kidding (mostly).
