We posted about this wonderful Roman restaurant in 2013 when Gino was still with us and most recently in 2016. No trip to Rome would be complete for us without a visit or two to Da Gino.
The restaurant is still run by Gino's two children. Here's Carla at the cash desk with one of the chefs
and Fabrizio with a customer.
Bill started with a plate of gnocchi in tomato sauce,
sprinkled with parmesan cheese
I had a plate of risotto
made with shrimp and zucchini flowers.
We saw some other customers being served this lively looking salad, and were told it was a Roman staple: garlic scapes with an anchovy sauce. We split a serving with our meat course.
Bill had the classic Roman oxtail
And I had meatballs with a little surprise -- stuffed zucchini. Imagine this all washed down with sparkling water and white wine.
I can hardly wait!
ReplyDeleteI think of garlic shapes as a spring green - so interesting to see it being served now. Looks like a really tasty dish!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you could get back to Da Gino.
Your readers need the update so we can vicariously enjoy your lunch!
