While in Rome, I am put in charge of making the dinner reservations for the family. Having had some practice navigating foreign cities and finding places to eat over the last many months, I feel ready for the task. In addition, in my previous visits to Rome, staying with two friends very involved in the Roman cooking scene (both having had worked at restaurants), I am prepared to accept all of their food recommendations.
Here is how the dinners played out in chronological order for our week in Rome.

How was Casa Copelle?
It was delicious. The service was great, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere perfect (we sat outside and loved it).
