Bratislava By Night

It was late when I got back to the apartment this evening after working late and then going to dinner with a colleague. We went to a pizza place that was good called La Mamma. There are so many Italian places here. I bet there are more Italian restaurants in this town than ones serving Slovak food. I get the feeling that no one really likes Slovak food that much, but yet they feel obligated to serve it because, you know, we are in Slovakia. I had eaten pizza for lunch at work, so I went with tortellini bolognese.

It must be mentioned that the pizza at the office is all the rage. Everyone talks about how good it is. Several people have remarked that it’s the “best pizza in Bratislava.” People in the Round Rock office come back from a visit to Bratislava and all they can talk about it is the pizza in the canteen. I will say it’s pretty nice that they hand make pizzas to order. The pizzas are huge; way too much for one person, and pretty cheap at around 4 euro. I had the caprese (mozzarella, tomato, and basil) and it was good, but I haven‘t eaten nearly enough pizza here to crown it the best in all of Bratislava.

I still needed to do some laundry when I arrived back the apartment. After tossing in the darks, I took a little evening stroll through the old town, and brought along the camera. The summer nights are nice here. There are always a lot of people out and almost all the restaurants set up tables for al fresco dining. It’s really not a bad little town.

Man at work Statue (Basically you can walk by this statue at any time of day and a tourist is looking at it and/or taking a picture. It's kind of like the Manneken Pis in Brussels, except that is much cooler because, come on, it's a little boy peeing.)	Opera House (We live behind it)
