The world said goodbye on Monday, April 21, from Pope Francis, who departed at the age of 88, after several months of fighting pneumonia. For several weeks the Pope was hospitalized in Rome, following a polymicrobial infection bronchitis, which added bilateral pneumonia, and at that time there were several people who recalled the times they intersected with Francis.
Almost always asked the same thing
This is what happened, for example, with a Portuguese who generates a restaurant a few meters from S. Pedro Square in the Vatican, which revealed that Pope Francis used to attend his establishment before becoming the world leader of the Catholic Church. Fatima Afonso advances that Francisco almost always asked for the same thing when she was visiting the restaurant TRE PUPÃO.
Pope Francis asked for a carbonara and a bottle of water
The meal was usually composed of a carbonara and a bottle of water. Advances the current owner of the restaurant that when pontiff visits became more frequent, she would alternate carbonara with a All’matiticiana, well garnished with guancing and pecorino cheese.
He became Pope and never returned to the restaurant
What is known is that since he became Pope, Francis has never returned to Tre Pampazi, but Fatima Afonso assumed the same source that the bishop of Rome had missed his establishment. It all happened the day a priest passed by and stood at the door watching the restaurant.
We recommend:
“I asked him if he needed help and he wanted to have lunch and he just told me he had had a meeting with the Holy Father and that he confided that he missed coming to a carbonara,” says the cook.
Restaurant is different
Although Pope Francis misses him, the truth is that he never sat back on a TRE Pampans table. However, there were changes in the restaurant and if it was once a space only dedicated to Italian cuisine, these days is divided between the traditional dishes of Italy and Portuguese cuisine.
Fatima and her husband now serve a cod in 14 different ways, not forgetting that he can eat the already classic seafood rice, octopus to Lagareiro and Bitoque.
Meet the usual client of TRE PUPÃO
Cardinal Tolentino de Mendonça is that it turns out to be a usual client from the restaurant managed by Fatima and her husband, since “when he doesn’t come here to eat cod with cream or codfish pastries, he asks to take her green broth and other dishes to home”.
Several Portuguese public figures have already visited the space
It is also known that it is not just the Curia that visits the restaurant of Fatima Afonso. Portuguese public figures, such as journalist Fátima Campos Ferreira, soccer coach José Mourinho, actress Claudia Vieira and singer Toy have also sat at TRE Pampans tables.
