The Italian menu

The concept of the Italian menu is well known. It gives you quite a freedom to choose. Secondi piatti is served without vegetables or potatoes, so you can choose which contorni (side dishes) you like. You can skip the antipasto and start with primi piatti, or you can jump from antipasto right to secondi piatti, or skip secondi piatti and order dulce right after primi piatti. The only rule seems to be is that you order caffè last.

If you travel and eat alone you're stuck with the house wine. A quarter liter for each meal was quite enough for me.

Dulce

Residence il Palazzo. La Pizza Dolce is a typical cake from Abruzzo, which used to be eaten only at weddings. This little spongy cake was amazing. Each layer had its own consistency from soaking wet (bottom layer) to dry. €4,00.
