Taverna Buongusto- Naples
O Lucky mio- O solo mio- met an actual Napoletano, Valeria- who works for Agence France P. among others. She took me out for a night on the town with some of her pals. Wound up at Taverna Buongusto where I was instucted about Napolese dining (there are appetizers, due piatti - two plates and dolce). There's a lot of eating, drinking (vino and aqua minerale) and laughing and some quarreling and teasing between table and staff. Also, the Naples Bologna soccer match was on the TV and the restaurant was transfixed by the match. Naples won 2 to 1 and we couldn't lose- because the fried Calimari was so delicious and light, the pasta dish- I can't recall the name- a local specialty a kind of macaroni and cheese and potatoes- was oof and the conversation and company excellent. Oh the carbs and the places they'll go...
