6. Rome i August - A roman affair - Cul de Sac

After a day of scorching 36 C, it was time for a late afternoon walk to Pizza Navona and on to our all time favorite enoteca - Cul De Sac.

We gave up walking to the Coliseum - it was just too hot

The start of our late afternoon affair at Cul De Sac. An excellent earthy white wine from Sardinia, crusty, chewy bread and a plate of cured meats and cheese

Followed by  a crisp Lazio white and our pasta with Sicilian sauce - a rich tomato sauce with eggplant and Sicilian cheese.
