My friend Brad Lapin, the part-time resident of Rome and the most ardent foodie I know, writes today:

We thought of you yesterday afternoon as we ate our way to a newer, better level of joy at Antonello Colonna’s little restaurant 30 k. outside of Rome. Undoubtedly, the best restaurant we’ve ever eaten at in Italy, perhaps anywhere…Let me say only that mere words cannot do justice to the cooking.

Believe me. If the loquacious Brad, says it’s beyond words, it must be sublime. Check it out here. I love the quote on the opening page.
