After our trip to El Museo de Bellas Artes, with detour to Hospital Clinico, we decided we had earned a nice lunch. Thanks to a restaurant list shared by Mario at the school, we decided to go Italian at Prosciutteria Tommaso. Got in line for lunch around 3 (very Spanish) and were seated – at a nice corner table upstairs, surrounded by art – around 4. What followed was indulgent and delicious.

We started with mussels and a zucchini carpachio with thin shavings of parm, dollops of roasted tomato and a scattering of arugula.

Followed this with pasta carbonara with truffles and tortello verde (spinach stuffed oversized tortellini with gorgonzola sauce).

Washed it all down with two generous glasses of wine each – Albariño for K and Tempranillo for R.

Finished “lunch” around 6pm and enjoyed our gentle walk home, floating about two inches above the park. Ahhh.

(For the record, I should note that we shared an apple around 9pm and called it dinner. It was enough.)
