28/06/2025: La Nuova Fiorentina, Rome
There is a restaurant, my friend, that seems
like a scene from a movie with so much heart,
it is called La Nuova Fiorentina, and it seems
that Rome stopped there to make love.
You will find dishes as God commands,
carbonara, amatriciana to perfection,
with a cacio e pepe that will enchant you
and good wine that will make your world go round.
The place is typical, without pretensions,
but it gives you true and sincere emotions:
there are magnificent flowers, among plants and courtesy,
and the air is sweet, it seems like spring.
The service? A caress of kindness.
They speak to you with kindness, not pretending.
It is all communicative, it makes you laugh
even if you are alone with your pint.
And if you look at the table next to yours,
it can happen — by pure chance and scene —
that you see a famous face, an actor or two,
who is dining there, with full Roman grace.
But there are no poses or presumptions,
there is a beautiful calm, almost of friends,
and you return there, like someone who finds emotions
in a sincere dish and two happy smiles.
The New Fiorentina is a little piece
of the real Rome, the one that tastes like home,
where Italy is not just a concept,
but a forkful that is not forgotten and embraced.
Everything excellent, excellent, without a mistake:
here you eat, you laugh and you feel good.
May God bless this place in May
that seems like an inn… but it’s a dream that comes.
