thanks Allison that's a grand idea to think on soup, and savoury starters, too, that might do for a pudding for me!

I feared it might be mostly pasta and pizza but I found a tripadvisor and also a face book page where people put photographs so that looked promising - I saw a fish and a steak! I do love a browse on tripadvisor ( I appreciate a good hotel breakfast photo!) and had forgotten they do restaurants on there as well

just goes to show one shouldn't jump to conclusions but get the research in, your suggestions most helpful. Specially the not enough protein then bookend it with starters one!

I shall walk past there soon also so have a look in the window menu now I have ideas to build on. I think I was spooked because in tourist Rome I ended up eating a huge amount of cheese salads as it really was all pasta and pizza..... oh apart from one place near St Peters square they did pork chops! that was bliss!
