Share While I was writing the post on Sicilia e duci, it dawned on me that I have never written a post on my favorite bakery in Rome – Regoli.

Share Stepping into this bakery in Rome was heaven and hell all at the same time. Heaven because I loved the selection they had and hell because I can’t have at least one of everything.

Share You would never believe it but I did my first wine tasting in Rome. To be precise, I did my first wine tasting event ever.

Share This bakery in Rome doesn’t sell the typical Italian goodies but caters to those who want a change or miss cupcakes, carrot cake and red velvet cake like I did this morning.
