Is Your Food Safe?

One way to check out if your food at an eating establishment is safe is to check out the Food Violations website for San Francisco. Just type in the name of the place and see if anything comes up. It seems to be updated weekly.

A Cafe and Pizzeria in Trastevere, Rome

If you're ever in Rome and want where you eat and where you hang out for an evening to be very close, then I highly recommend Cafe della Scala (Via Della Scala 4) and the pizzeria right next to it. Hanging out at Cafe Della Scala is a joy. The tables outside tend to attract really gregarious types, and don't be surprised if a couple of folks ask you if the table is free to sit next to you.

At the pizzeria next door, they make fresh gnocchi which is part of a house specialty called "Gnochetti La Scaletta." It has clams and mussels in a light tomatoe sauce and sea broth.
