Lunch in Paestum, Italy ~ Netturno

After wandering through Paestum, we were ready to sit for a lovely lunch.

 The first course was a Caprese salad.  but this one was made with buffalo mozzarella.

Buffalo is water buffalo, not bison.  They are mostly found in this part of Italy.

It was excellent, and I cleaned my plate.  This fresh mozzarella is only eaten like this the first day.  The second day it is used in cooking.  The third day it is not good.

The penne is dressed with oil and roasted sweet pepper and zucchini.  They served at the table, and I was able to request this small portion (about a third of what they were serving).

One of the people ordered una coca.  With tip, it cost €3, about $4.

The dessert was a very moist lemon cake.  The cakes here are much less sweet.  Very good.

Wine and water were included with the meal, so I enjoyed that.

Now fortified, we could go on to the Archeological Museum of Paestum.
