Food: The Black Duke Restaurant/Pub

While meandering around the city looking for something to eat Josie and I stumbled across the Black Duke, which was an Irish establishment, but had a mixture of Italian and American/Irish food. The prices there were very good, as well as the food. They have several "menu" selections in which you can pick a meal (usually either 2 courses and an appetizer with a course) and a drink for a predetermined price. For 15 euro I got lasagna, a chicken cutlet with french fries and a drink (the menu Black Duke). Both of the courses were very good, so if you are ever in the mood for a little taste of home, and a little taste of Italy the Black Duke is where to go. They also have great appetizers that you do not see anywhere else, like deep friend broccoli and cheese poppers. Aside from the menu deals, their individual dishes are priced well and portions are much better than what I have encountered with the local Italian places. For the two of us to eat and get drinks (and left stuffed) it cost about 30 euro, which is a sweet deal for me because to leave one of the Italians places as full as I left the Black Duke I could probably spend 50 euro+ easy. For anyone interested the Black Duke is about one block north of the Pantheon, if you are looking at the front of the McDonald's, follow the path going north to the right of it and you can't miss it.

Joe, check your Rick Steves guide for advice on getting enough to eat at good prices in Rome. Also consider buying fresh fruit at the local markets. It would be a shame to be in Rome and feel that the only way you could eat would be to turn to American food. There will be lots of that when you get home -- in just a month.
