When In Rome .....

Some Charges Are Very Hard To Digest

The deputy mayor of Rome has offered an official apology to a Japanese man who was charged $1,200 (including a $200 service charge) for a meal at the famous Il Passetto restaurant in the Italian capital. The couple later turned down the offer of an all-expenses paid return trip to Rome from the Italian government.

FOOTNOTE: Check the check.

  2. I would have to pass on the Passeto if that were the charge!

  5. I'd be happy to take that all-expense paid trip to Rome if the Japanese couple doesn't want it. Even with flaws, Rome and Romans are wonderful.

    Hope all is well where you are.

  9. Fair dues, at least they apologised.
    I wouldn't have been able to resist the expenses-paid offer, though!
