Acqua al Due has been my favorite restaurant anywhere in the world since 1999. In 2001 there was a strong contender in Abuja, Nigeria -- Wahoos, or something, a delicious Indian place -- but Acqua al Due won on the strength of their pasta assagio. The Pasta Assagio is a series of five different types of pasta, allowing the diner to sample a number of different tastes in one meal. Last night, I went to Acqua al Due with Ana and David, expecting a phenomenal experience of pasta-liciousness. Unfortunately, the entire experience was lackluster. The pasta dishes were the same as the ones I sampled on my last trip, instead of spontaneous tastings of the dishes that your neighboring diners ordered. And the service was awful. Sigh. I guess I'll have to start the search for a new favorite (yum!).
Today I spent hours gawking in the Uffizi. The visit was free, thanks to my magic NYU letter stating that I am a budding art historian. It was so amazing to see so many masterpieces in one place. After that, I floated through the day, visiting the funerary chapel of the Medicis designed by Michelangelo, and having a tasty dinner with some very fun girls from Flint, Michigan. The night ended with a fantastic drink at an open-air bar near our hotel (only Italians would have a weekly DJed party on a Sunday night) and now I'm off to bed. Wow, I love it here!
