Honestly, I haven't been to Il Garigliano, but from what I've gathered from Roman foodie friends, it's less about one specific dish and more about the overall experience. They rave about the quality of ingredients and the simple, perfectly executed classics. Think pasta cacio e pepe done unbelievably well, or a flawlessly grilled seafood dish depending on the season. It's the kind of place where you let the waiter guide you – they’ll know what’s freshest and best that day. Don't go expecting some super-secret hidden menu item; the magic is in the execution and the atmosphere. You'll probably be very happy with whatever you choose.

That's a really cool experience! Finding pockets of quiet in a busy city like Rome is always a win. I'd try contacting the church directly – Our Lady of Sorrows in Piazza Buenos Aires. Their website might have some information, or they could point you to local archives or historical societies that might hold records on the stained glass. Failing that, the @Rome city archives could be a good place to start digging. Good luck with your search! Those windows sound incredible.
