While there we dined at the Ristorante\u00a0da Arturo. The food was delicious and we sampled several of the entrees. My husband enjoyed a perfectly prepared steak and I selected the Sea Bass and grilled eggplant.<\/p>\n<p>We also sampled a plate of delicate sardines. They are nothing like the small smoked sardines we ate out of a can as kids\u2026lol. \u00a0The chef prepared a plate of flakey sardines full of flavor. We ended the evening with a sampling of delectable desserts.\u00a0The ambiance, wine and food made for a wonderful evening in Rome.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3550\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mi-ling.com\/if-you-dont-like-sardines-try-them-in-rome\/image-33\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3550\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3550\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3550\" src=\"https:\/\/mi-ling.com\/homewp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/image-6-e1453498599818-225x199.jpeg\" alt=\"Dessert at Ristorante da Arturo\" width=\"225\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mi-ling.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/image-6-e1453498599818-225x199.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/mi-ling.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/image-6-e1453498599818-160x141.jpeg 160w, https:\/\/mi-ling.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/image-6-e1453498599818-768x679.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/mi-ling.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/image-6-e1453498599818-560x495.jpeg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3550\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dessert at Ristorante da Arturo<\/p><\/div>\n<p>After returning home I visited the restaurant&#8217;s website and realized that the family who opened the restaurant was from Calabria. My great grandmother was born and raised in Calabria, and we still have relatives in the area. I hoped to visit with them but we were unable to make that happen. However, I was happy to know that I had a little taste of Calabria while in Rome.<\/p>\n<p>According to the history on their website, Arturo and his family moved to Rome and started a catering business over 40 years ago. \u00a0The menu offers Mediterranean cuisine enhanced with fresh and simple ingredients with a taste of Calabria. Foreigners and locals as well as, Pope John Paul II have eaten there. In 1999, Arturo passed the torch to his son\u00a0Bernard.<\/p>\n<p>Click here for more \u00a0information on\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ristorantearturo.it\/\">Ristorante Arturo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This past September my hubby and I booked a European cruise which included a few days in Rome.
