;op

Ugh...woke up feeling like crap and with no voice. the allergies have turned into a cold. Couldnt meet mom at Cimetero Monumentale, so we just met them for dinner instead. Drowning myself in airborne, vivin C and allegra so i can try and enjoy everyone's visit.
Went to really nice place on the corner of Via Muratori, called Casa Tua. We asked what used to be there, since i used to work just down the street and didnt remember what was there before. They told us they combined to stores, one was the old sartoria, and i remember that. The food was pretty good, its the same owner of Giulio, pane olio thats just down the street. I dont think their food as good at Giulio's. It's supposed to be romano, but i found it just to be garlic-y. Casa Tua is tuscan, and you know max and his tuscan roots, he's picky about other's so called tuscan cuisine. But it was good. They serve panzanella (a salad with bread and tomatoes and raw purple onions with olive oil) and some salami and pecorino. the best thing on the menu was the pistachio pesto (altho i dont think thats typical tuscan). The service was excellent and they were really kind and friendly to sophia, which is unusual for restaurants here. they arent usually kid friendly.
Mom is off to Stresa at Lago Maggiore tomorrow, so this is the last we will see her until we go back home.
