Da Domenico al Pigneto

Domenico and the gnocchi of Pigneto. "Laugh laugh, because mom made gnocchi": this is how, even today, children are addressed when overcome by joy that is as irrepressible as it is incomprehensible. The only reason to explain that happiness could be a good plate of gnocchi... But if you really want to eat a good plate of gnocchi, it is precisely from Domenico that you eat the best gnocchi in the world, and excuse me if that's not much. Naturally, the designated day is Thursday, as the classic Roman cuisine calendar teaches. You have to get a little lost in the alleys of the neighborhood, ask some passerby who knows and doesn't know, go down a couple of streets the wrong way, but in the end you arrive in front of a small garden that is a true hortus conclusus.... SIT DOWN!!!! IT IS FROM DOMENICO AT PIGNETO THAT YOU EAT THE BEST GNOCCHI IN THE WORLD. the Republic by Marco Lodoli
