Wherein guest blogger Bene finishes her Roman adventure on a fishy note — and regrets missing out on fried artichokes.

Bene’s next installment finds her vistiting Ristorante L’Arcangelo. I’ll spare you puns about the food being heavenly, but I couldn’t resist thisFra Angelico fresco of The Annunciation. (The Archangel Gabriel — get it?)

Bene’s reportage from Italy continues. In this installment, she goes for the two-fer, dining at one of her favorite Roman spots twice in one day.

STBNY hits the road (vicariously) through this guest post from Orvieto. Pesto, pigeon and deconstructed tiramisu. Try not to get jealous.
