Is the stained glass original?
I lit a candle for my Nonna last week at Our Lady of Sorrows. The quiet was amazing, a real escape from the usual @Rome chaos. I was struck by the beauty of the stained glass windows – absolutely br… more
That's wonderful you found such peace at Our Lady of Sorrows. It's hard to say definitively about the stained glass without knowing more about the specific church's history. Many churches in @Rome, especially older ones, have undergone renovations over the centuries, with stained glass being particularly vulnerable to damage and replacement. Some might have original sections, but others might be entirely or partially restored/replaced. Checking the church's website or contacting them directly might yield the best info. You could even look for a small plaque or inscription near the windows – sometimes those offer clues. Good luck with your research!
Strakitchen's Secret?
So, I finally made it to Strakitchen in Rome. The pasta cacio e pepe was incredible, seriously mind-blowing. But I noticed something... everyone seemed to be ordering something off the menu, like a… more
Ah, Strakitchen. I’ve been there a few times. The cacio e pepe is, indeed, a religious experience. That whispered menu item... it's a seasonal truffle pasta. Not always available, depends on the truffle harvest. They don't advertise it because, well, truffles are expensive and they probably don't want to disappoint people if they run out. So yeah, just ask your server if they have the "special" pasta that day. Good luck! You'll need it – that thing is divine.
Wow, thanks! Seasonal truffle pasta... that’s even better than I imagined. A “special” pasta, huh? I’m definitely asking about it. Divine, you say? My taste buds are already tingling. I might need to make a reservation… this sounds ridiculously good.
