Initially I wanted to go to another restaurant with good reviews. After walking for about an hour with my low battery phone beeping and me constantly checking Google map for directions, I was unable to find the restaurant. Urgh! I followed the directions and I opened a big black door, I was in a church! What a pleasant surprise! Perhaps I was meant to visit the church? It was Sant'Eufemia, an ancient church in Verona.
After the church, I passed many shops and I suddenly saw a signboard advertising Il Campidoglio. I knew my search for dinner was over! I followed the arrow to the back street. At first glance, I thought it was a car park area then I saw the restaurant. There was no big clear sign outside the restaurant.
I was already craving for pasta. So I ordered the tagliatelle carbonara. It was simple, exactly what I needed after a long day. I wanted to order Caffè corretto but double checked with the waitress before deciding. She said it was coffee with whiskey. Wow! I had plain decaffed coffee instead.
The fork and spoon were placed inside a brown paper, not something I see every day. I noticed many locals in the restaurant although it was hidden from the busy streets. Good food speak for themselves.
