Il vero Alfredo

As these pages print it.

Friday and Saturday Aperitivo: The Hours Before Dinner

Two pages name the hours before dinner at Il vero Alfredo all'Augusteo. The Italian page is /aperitivo.html. The English page is /aperitif.html. Both name Friday and Saturday. Both name cocktails before dinner. On those lines the two languages match.

This comparison does not claim a language discrepancy for aperitivo. The restaurant remains at Piazza Augusto Imperatore 30, in Rome. The days are an addition beside that address, not a second address. No hour of the clock is printed in the lines used here.

The days the two pages share

Friday is on both pages. Saturday is on both pages. The Italian page does not name a different pair of days from the English page. The English page does not drop a day that the Italian page keeps. The match is the fact. A split would be a different fact, and these two pages do not supply one.

The splash address block is Piazza Augusto Imperatore, 30 and 00186 ROMA, then a telephone that breaks at +39 06/, then a fax that is a bare slash. The days are not in that block. The slash has no digit and no day name. The portrait caption Alfredo III° is not a day of the week.

The note on the evening places the table on the square. This page places Friday and Saturday before dinner. The square is where the restaurant is printed. The days are when the cocktails are printed. One line does not replace the other. The 2010 digits on home.htm are a telephone, not a third day. No hour sits beside Friday.

Cocktails before dinner

Both pages say cocktails before dinner. Before is a sequence. Cocktails come first. Dinner comes after. The pages do not print a number of minutes. They do not print a start time. They do not print a closing time. Sequence is not a duration. A reader cannot pull a length out of the word before.

The lines do not name a price for the cocktails. The price 23,50 appears on one Italian menu line and nowhere else. It is not an aperitivo price in the lines used here. The English menu line for the veal chops has no price at all. That menu split is real. It is not a split inside the aperitivo pair.

The portrait caption Alfredo III° is on the splash, not in the aperitivo sentence. The golden fork and spoon are already part of the restaurant story. They are not printed here as a cocktail. The days stay Friday and Saturday. The offer stays cocktails before dinner. No third drink is named in these lines. No clock hour is printed beside dinner.

Where the languages match

The Italian page and the English page agree on the days and on the cocktails. Agreement is worth stating because other pairs on the site do not agree. The splash prints 00186 ROMA. The English frameset prints 00186 ROME. Those city words differ. The aperitivo pages, on the lines used here, do not differ in that way.

The English frameset title is THE REAL ALFREDO ALLA AUUSTEO, missing the G. The restaurant name keeps the G in Augusteo. That title gap is a spelling gap. It is not an aperitivo gap. The aperitivo pages are not where this comparison locates the missing G. They are where Friday, Saturday, and cocktails before dinner are printed twice, once in each language, and match.

A reader who expects every English page to drop a fact the Italian page keeps will misread this pair. Here the English page keeps the days. It keeps the cocktails. It keeps the place of those cocktails, before dinner. Nothing in these lines is present on only one of the two pages. The match is the whole claim.

The menu split these pages do not copy

The Italian menu prints Costoletta di vitello alla Sassi 23,50. The English menu prints Veal chops Sassi style and no price. The price appears nowhere else. Valigetta diplomatica all'Alfredo con piselli is only on the Italian list. It has no English line. Those are menu facts. They are not aperitivo facts.

The aperitivo pages do not absorb 23,50. They do not absorb the valigetta line. They do not receive an English sentence that the menu never printed for that dish. The contrast is simple. Aperitivo matches across languages. The menu does not. Each pair should be quoted as itself. The comma in 23,50 is a menu mark, not an aperitivo mark.

The note on the Italian price stays with 23,50 and with the missing English line. This page stays with Friday and Saturday. Putting the price into the aperitivo sentence would invent a number the aperitivo lines do not print. The fax slash is empty in a different way. It is not 23,50 either. The menu comma stays on the menu.

Days on the page, and no hour

Friday names a day. Saturday names a day. Neither names an hour. Before dinner names an order. It does not name a clock time. 1908 and 1950 are years on the history page. They are not opening hours for cocktails. 2010 is the frameset at home.htm. 2004 and 2011 are eras of photo pages and of the gallery. None of those years is a time of day.

The telephone does not add the missing hour. The splash breaks at +39 06/. The English frameset prints Tel. +39 06/ - +39 06/. The 2010 frameset prints Tel. 06/68.78.734 - 06/68.78.615, and those digits are not on the splash. A finished number is still not a printed hour for aperitivo. The fax remains a bare slash. No quoted line turns 68 into a minute.

The note on the length of a table follows the same absence. No page used here states how long the table takes. The aperitivo lines state the days and the sequence. They stop there. A longer evening cannot be measured from Friday and Saturday alone.

The table still sits in Rome

The cocktails are before dinner at the restaurant in Rome. The address on the splash is Piazza Augusto Imperatore, 30, 00186 ROMA. The English frameset prints 00186 ROME, not a new city. The history page keeps the 30 in the 1950 sentence and also names Via della Scrofa with no number. None of those address lines is replaced by the word Friday.

The franchising pages look at opening elsewhere. The aperitivo pages, in the lines used here, do not. Their lines name two days and cocktails before dinner. Elsewhere is a franchising subject. It is not an aperitivo subject. The days do not name a new city. They do not name Piazza Rosa, the alt that is not the Augustus square.

The note on the two eras sets the splash, the English frameset, and the 2010 frameset side by side. The square and the 30 stay on the splash and in the 1950 sentence. Friday and Saturday sit beside that address. They do not edit ROMA into a third city word. They do not finish the telephone. They do not price the cocktails.
