Blogging about my experiences and sharing my thoughts about Rome, Italy and beyond.
We finally had the carbonara at Da Danilo! I have been patiently waiting for my sister to get to Rome to finally taste the well-written about Carbonara from Da Danilo which I included in the list of 10 places we would check out while she is here in town. So how did it fair? Here [...]
This post on Lunch at Porto Corallo is a guest post from my sister who is in town for a few weeks. She will be writing most of the posts here while she is in Rome. —- Firstly, I never get the name right and more often than not, I call it Porto Corolla as [...]
While we are still looking for some decent Chinese restaurants, there are several Japanese restaurants in Rome that live up to our expectations (thank goodness). However, the one that we often frequent is Sushisen, located near Piramide. Although it is situated in the basement, the inside has been done up nicely and has a nice [...]
Most days I am on the run at lunch. Some days, I am actually fortunate enough to sit down and have a few minutes to eat a sandwich. Considering my circumstances, I am always on the look out for quick and affordable spots for lunch. Most of them are usually sandwich places but once in [...]
I came up with this list of 10 Places to Go in Rome as my sister will be in town in a few weeks and there are some cool places that I have discovered since her last visit. As she has been to Rome many times before, she knows that she is better off staying [...]

I don’t often take taxis in Rome as I get around with public transportation but when I do, it’s usually because I absolutely need to. Even going to the airport, it is easier and cheaper to take the Leonardo Express and on top of that you don’t have to worry about traffic. Last week a [...]
This attraction in Rome for me is a haven when you need to get away from the “busy-ness” of the city. While the book, “The Secrets of Rome” describes Santi Quattro Coronati as ” a gigantic fortress appears, powerful…” and the walk up from the Colosseum do give you the sense of this, it’s a [...]
What is fascinating about this attraction in Rome is not the Palazzo itself but what lies beneath and how with the use of technology, these ruins are brought to life. I had heard about Palazzo Valentini from my sister-in-law who was arranging a trip for my niece and her classmates. She had mentioned that with [...]
This attraction in Rome, St. Peter in Chains (San Pietro in Vincoli) is only a short walk from Colosseum but often overlooked by visitors to the city. I, myself, am guilty as I first heard about St. Peter in Chains from the book “The Secrets of Rome” which I got as a gift last Christmas. [...]
