We haven't posted many new cooking blogs for a while as we've shared many of our favorite dishes and only occasionally try a new one. But, we recently found an intriguing recipe when we were looking for something to do with a cauliflower that we had left over and ran across Rigatoni with Roasted Cauliflower and Crispy Capers.

Dining in Rome
We start our culinary evening in Rome with aperitifs at Piazza del Popolo: negronis and a limoncello spritz, accompanied by a plate of olives, potato chips, and tarallini (small knots made of flour, olive oil, wine, and a flavoring such as fennel seeds or red pepper flakes).
Aperitif
Dinner is at our favorite restaurant in Rome: Trattoria Lilli. We have a reservation and sit at a table outside.

A Wander in Rome
Our flight home leaves from Rome and we catch a local train from Polignano a Mare to Bari and the Intercity train from Bari to Rome, spending an evening in Rome before flying out the next day.

Dining in Polignano a Mare
We have several fabulous dinners in Polignano, starting with our first night at Il Grottino. The menu looks interesting and we wander in and dine on clams and mussels, octopus, orecchiette with tomato and burrata, and seafood risotto
