Eww... LOL!

Wonder if they'll serve such favorite Roman snacks like:

Dormouse stuffed with minced pork and nuts dried in olive oil.

Or garum, crushed fish guts fremented in brine.

Tasty.

[PanzerKardinal]

oops fried not dried.

But then again dormouse jerky might be tasty.

[PanzerKardinal]

We made some garum.

Sort of tasty, like Vietnamese fish sauce but not as sweet.

Smelled like death though but then again people eat oozey stinky cheese.

Sir, Sir, can I change my order to dead dog with Nouc Mam, white rice on the side please.

It took this place 2000 years to reopen? I know it takes awhile to get things done in Italy, but I didn’t it took that long. There must have been some serious red tape!

Wonderful! That’s always been the most interesting building in Pompeii to me.

More interesting than the Lupanare ?

so cool!

[Revolting cat!]

Original Roman signs have been restored.

Anyone here sprechen Sie Latin?

[ApplegateRanch]

Oh no, I owe a big tab at that place.

Might be bad news for you, but for me, it is WONDERFUL!

Those thieving sons of Punic whores never paid me for that last galley load of cheap vintage Dago red.

With interest and carrying charges; breakage; fees for the loss of the ship, indemnities for....

There’s a really nicely preserved restaurant in ancient Ostia, near Rome, and naturally I can’t seem to turn up an image.

Oh wait... here’s one I think, it’s the wall images that a largely illiterate society (or at best, multilingual) used to see what was on the menu, and to then order it:
