The Mater Dei High School Performance Tour will eat dinner in the heart of the Eternal City at Venerina Restaurant on Wednesday, March 30, 2011. Venerina restaurant, located merely fifty feet from the Vatican Walls, sits in the historical Rione Borgo district of Rome. The family-run eatery offers both traditional Italian as well as international cuisine, offering a variety of pastas, risottos, fresh seafood, fresh produce, and homemade desserts. Some of their menu’s specialties include sedanini with avocado and truffle, strozzapreti with clams and asparagus, sea bass with porcini mushrooms, and veal with radicchio.
Venerina offers both indoor air-conditioned seating as well as quaint patio accommodations. The property also boasts an outdoor garden bordering the “Passetto of Borgo” monument, marking the former secret passage way connecting Saint Peter’s Basilica to the fortress of Sant’Angelo which the Popes used to escape during sieges of Rome or to send their enemies for lifelong imprisonment.
