Ciao Sergio, Diana sta scrivendo, ho usato entrare nel vostro ristorante ogni martedì per 3 mesi in bistecca 1999for ed in spinaci ed ho ritornato per vederlo nel mese di gennaio del 2001. Ho desiderato appena dire hi, spero che siate buoni e spero di ottenere ancora a Roma presto. Mostri prego Paul e Sharon dove Jonathon's è mentre devono vedere la stanza da bagno. Show this to Sergio if you do go and he will smile lots and may personally take you to Jonathon's..... Have so much fun darlings you deserve the break!! :O)

So I presume you are flying into Campino airport.... there wasn't any duty free there in 1999 as it's an ex military airport so don't think you can get goods on the way back!! Rome is fantastic.... there is a restaurant on Piazza Navona.... right had side at the top end with a grey haired chap called Sergio who's english is perfect.... they do the BEST pizza in Rome and he speaks better english than anyone I know.... and it's not expensive considering you can people watch really well... and if it's chilly they will bring out a heater for you!! If you do go there please send him my regards!! He fed me every Tuesday for 3 months and looked out for me big time!! Also try and find Jonathon's.... its a BAR not far from Piazza Navona and it has a roman bath in the toilets..... it is an amazing site!! :O) I can't wait for you to wax lyrical about it on your return.... may just have to book a weekend for myself.... :O) Spanish steps would be good trek practice!! :O)

If you get the chance go to Pompei. It's a two hour coach trip, but well worth it. Jo.
