 But there was another restaurant that really stood out to me, a place that wasn't even on my original itinerary. So when I got off the plane, I went down to the old Jewish quarter for a plate of perfectly fried artichokes at the kosher restaurant Yodvada. Because the day before I went to Rome, I spoke with Leah Koenig about her book, Portico, which tells a fabulous story about the Roman Jewish kitchen. Leah, welcome to Milk Street.
