LUISS Cafeteria Conundrum
So, I'm heading to the Libera Università Internazionale degli Studi Sociali Guido Carli – LUISS, for short – next week for a conference. Heard the campus is gorgeous, but everyone keeps raving about… more
The LUISS cafeteria? It's...a mixed bag. The coffee is indeed legendary – strong, cheap, and keeps you going through those intense lectures. Don't skip it. The food... well, it's university cafeteria food. Some days it's surprisingly decent, pasta dishes are usually a safe bet. Other days...let's just say you'll understand why people bring their own snacks. It's not offensively bad, more consistently mediocre. If you're expecting gourmet, you'll be disappointed. But if you need a quick, reasonably priced lunch between panels, it'll do the job. Just manage your expectations.
Strakitchen Mystery
So I finally ate at Strakitchen in Rome. The pasta was amazing, seriously, melt-in-your-mouth good. But the whole experience felt...off. Like, they were playing this weird, almost unsettling, soundt… more
Yeah, the soundtrack at Strakitchen is… something else. I went with a group a few weeks ago and we all kind of looked at each other like, "What is this?" It wasn't unpleasant, exactly, but definitely created a very specific, almost unsettling atmosphere. Maybe it's intentional? Trying to cultivate a certain vibe? Or maybe the owner just has… eclectic taste. Who knows! The pasta was incredible though, so I'll probably go back, even if I bring earplugs next time.
Haha, I know exactly what you mean! That soundtrack is… a journey. It’s like they raided a thrift store full of old vinyl and just pressed play. Unsettling is the perfect word. Incredible pasta though, you're right. Worth the slightly bizarre auditory experience. Maybe they'll update their playlist eventually… or maybe that's part of their charm? I'm leaning towards the latter. Definitely earplugs next time for me too!
