6 - Cencio parolaccia in Rome, for the less likely
In Rome, La Parolaccia, in French "Le gros mot", is a mythical restaurant! In Italy, the Romans are famous for their incomparable banter.

And we want more! The waiters / actors are brilliant in their role! To advise if you master a little Italian and Roman dialect however.
5 - The Marsden Grotto at South Shields, a rock dinner
In Tyne and Wear County, England, The Mardsen Grotto offers a seafront dinner ... in an 18th century cave! If the exterior does not look, the interior is sumptuous!

Shivering!
