Food Style? Italian Jewish/Kosher
In the ghetto of Rome, this Jewish roman restaurant serves very classic homely food, and with a name like Nonna Betta (Grandmother Betta), it's no wonder it's a local favourite. Their speciality is the Jerusalem artichoke, lightly fried and salted, so I've ordered one with a gnocchi for lunch mains. I'm not at 100% appetite just yet, still suffering from the effects of food poisoning.
Antipasto
Carciofo alla Giudia - artichoke, Jewish style
The artichoke is delicious. Crispy on the outside, flakes with the texture of potato chips, while the inside is smooth like avocado. It's seasoned perfectly to bring out the natural taste.
Primo Piatto
Tagliolini col Ragu di Nonna Betta - fresh pasta with Nonna Betta's Ragu
The gnocchi comes out. It is not gnocchi. It's spaghetti. It smells good and I have no idea how to tell the waiter that it isn't what I ordered so I just eat it anyway. There's lots of tomato, a bit of meat which I assume is beef, and a bit of cheese, which hopefully doesn't upset my stomach. It's probably too much for me too eat in this state but I power on because it's quite tasty.
