30 May 2025 Rome: Vivaldi the Four Seasons

 


From the Capitoline Museums we walked a bit to get to Guenda restaurant.  Supposedly they stop serving at 3:30 so that was the time  of our reservation.  We picked it because it was close tot he concert location and it has some google cred.  Since we had three hours to spend here we first ordered drinks, then appetizers and then our late lunch-early diner orders.  There were a few new Gins for us to try and Laura had a Tito's martini.   Or food was great, we got to talk to the owner and before we knew it it was time to head over to the concert.  The concert was Vivaldi's Four Seasons in candle light.  A string quartet played masterfully, left us speechless and wanting more.  


Caprice salad


The Neptune salad with salmon and avocado


Tuna tartar


A new gin


A fancy way of putting the olives in the drink


A creamy cheesy pasta


Meatballs with ample sauce


Carbonaro


We dined  in a cave like room


Limoncello and ice cream for dessert


A ricotta cheese cheesecake


A pistachio chocolate souffle


We have outlasted


All of the other diners


Not knocking the knockers on the way out


Just down this street is the concert


Huge street lamp


Up the stairs


Good thing that these are electric


If they were real candles, someone would be going up in flames


A small and intimate place


The musicians have arrived


So much fun


This tune will be stuck in my brain for days


Bravo!


And then it was over


More candles on the way out


Still some daylight as we walked along the concert stage


We hailed a cab and made it home pretty quick
