"We got off the Rome Metro at the Giullio Agricola station on our way to Aqueduct park and we walked by the Sorelle Giordano which at first glance looked like a great place to get some coffee and danish like pastries. About one hour later because it was a very cold January in Rome we came back for the cappuccino and a quick snack. While they have a wide selection of pastries what we really noticed was they have cafeteria style display of meats and vegetables also that you can order and pay for by weight. One person behind the counter spoke some English so we pointed at what we wanted and then indicated more or less which they then put on a paper wrapper which they weighted. The scale kept a running total which you then take to the cashier to pay for. They heat it up and find a table and eat. They also have a good selection of wines and a full bar. They had very tasty veal, lasagna, beef and veal balls, pork, baked chicken parts and chicken in different preparations as well as pastas, different styles of green beans, broccoli, egg plant, cabbage, beans and other items. The second day we went to the Appian way which is one of the first and most important roads in ancient Rome and walked through the Villa Dei Quintilli. When we finished walking across the very large field we noticed that we could walk through Viale Appio Claudio and this would take us back to Aqueduct Park right near the Sorelle Giordano for dinner again. This time some of the meats and vegetables had changed and I got their lasagna and veal meat balls with a nice wine sauce and a mix of vegetables. I had two cappuccinos but this time with a shot of Baileys Irish for a 1 Euro up charge and it was very good. We decided to come back the third night because the food and its variety were very good and by this time the staff knew us and we told them we would be heading back home the next day. The three times we were in the restaurant we were the only non-Italians in the place. This is off of the beaten path and it is surrounded by apartments for the working Italians a number with children and babies. Several tables had eclectic groups of friends. There is covered outdoor seating but it was 30 degrees F with the wind blowing so you wanted a seat away from the sliding glass doors."
