Caserta, May 10—
WE ATE TWICE today, fortifying ourselves for a l-o-n-g train trip to Palermo. First we stopped halfway through a delicious day in Paestum, about which more on The Eastside View; then we took a supper in the restaurant of the Jolly Hotel in Caserta, because it's right next to the train station, and we were schlepping baggage.
Signora the proprietess at La Vecchia Quercia had recommended the Ristorante Nettuno, and we were glad she had. It's just outside the archaeological site, conveniently at the opposite end from the entrance: just when you've covered half this magnificent visit and you're hungry you can sit in a comfortable dining room whose huge windows look out on the Temples of Hera and Zeus. Here I had veal scallopini with asparagus, then a plate of grilled eggplant, zucchini, and peppers.
