After the Farnese Palace disaster, there was only one option: gelato.
Sp we went to Giolitti, a place next to our hotel (from our one night stay back at the beginning of our trip). Maria's second cousin said it's the best gelato in Rome. Maria never made it there, but we did on our last day, and we haven't been to enough gelato places in Rome to say he's right, but we're definitely NOT going to say he's wrong, either.
We could either order a cone or cup and take it away, or we could get something more and sit at one of their tables on the street. It was around 4:30 in the afternoon, so when I said, "let's get sundaes and sit at a table," I could see in her eyes that Carol had her doubts, but like Johnny Cash stealing Cadillac parts, I convinced her otherwise. I pointed out dinner wasn't till 9:30pm, so we had five hours to digest these massive sundaes.
Unlike Farnese Palace, Giolitti's is definitely worth going to!
Our final dinner was excellent -- Hosteria Grappolo d'Oro, just east of Campo di Fiori. It's another Michelin recommended restaurant, which means we got a fantastic meal for a very fair price -- nowhere near as expensive as a Michelin Star restaurant. To put it in perspective, there are tons of restaurants that charge the same price, but don't have quite as much quality as a Michelin recommended restaurant.
