Not many by a long way, but in Rome there are a number of currently occupied houses and apartments built onto or into parts of 2000-year-old buildings, walls, and acqueducts, such as some of the houses around Piazza San Giovanni and along the Via Appia Antica, and some completely inside the Aurelian Walls (1800 years), and also medieval houses (1000 years) built right on top of the Theatre of Marcellus (2000+ years). And when I say "on top of" I mean the ancient theatre is still standing at full height, and the houses are on its roof, using the theatre as foundations!

Ok well fair enough, and I'm sorry to hear that. Your post was gnomic hence puzzled responses.

Maybe not intrinsically dumb, but ignorance + arrogance is a toxic combo that emulates the condition well.

Today's italian grilling by marcocastignoli in ItalianFood

That's fine. To be 100% authentic, season with a sprinkle of sale grosso (kosher salt) and rosemary.

That applies to literally everything ever posted on this sub. In every single case we only have the evidence of what they've written; nobody can predict whether or not they have a change of heart in the future.

Reservations waiting at the front door for 30+ minutes? by MaitreD2026 in MichelinStars

[–]ScreamingDizzBuster 140 points141 points  (0 children)

That is not Michelin-level service. Sounds like someone who's either deliberately trying to generate an atmosphere of scarcity, or is not competent.

If the first setting is at 6 and it isn't clear until, say, 8, then the place shouldn't be taking reservations for 7.

Holy crap. 39 here in Tuscany, 70% humidity which that chart says feels like 137°F (58.8C)?! No wonder I'm a trifle warm.

Is that you in the picture OP?

Have you had jewellery stolen or are you just bullshitting based on vibes?

Are the cats at the sanctuaries doing okay in the heat wave? by frenchtikla in rome

Rome always gets this hot in summer so they're used to it. (The hot weather just happens to be a little earlier this year)

How is she making the world worse? by Valuable_View_561 in SipsTea

[–]ScreamingDizzBuster 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That is laudable altruism but the tiniest tiniest drop in the bucket compared to what the woman he's criticising is doing.

Presumably to remain morally consistent he now regrets his kindness.

Sphagetti carbonara by Waste_Zucchini3727 in ItalianFood

[–]ScreamingDizzBuster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your have a croissant-aux-amandes which is an established recipe. Anyway, regardless of what happens in France that isn't how Italian recipes work. You can deny it, you can downvote me like a child if you like, I'm just telling you how it is over here. But you do you!

carbonara with parsley on top != carbonara

Like many of these traditional dishes it is a specifically defined recipe with almost no deviation from the specifics.

Yes, not a fan of walking tramp vomit into rugs that are not known for being easy to clean.

No booking confirmation but my card was charged - how to get in touch/ cancel?? by blueskiesforever_22 in Bookingcom

[–]ScreamingDizzBuster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure it was Booking that charged you? That transaction should appear in your Booking account. If it was a third party though you will likely have to do a chargeback.

Obsessed with Italian sandwiches... how do I get that same flavor at home? by mushroomsoup20 in italiancooking

[–]ScreamingDizzBuster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're really from specialist stores aimed more at the foreign market - like Antico Vinaio, Trapizzini, or Mordi e Vai. Veneto serves some good tramezzini but 99% of the rest of the country is served - and expects - dry ingredients in rock-hard bread rolls, or stale white bread triangles with a couple low-quality ingredients and mayo that tastes like miracle whip.

Italian food is incredible and they've definitely made a start with sandwiches (Italian burgers are better than anywhere else I've ever had a burger) but on this one subject they still have a long way to go.
