Blogging about my experiences and sharing my thoughts about Rome, Italy and beyond.
As striking as photos are of Civita di Bagnoregio, they don’t do this place justice. Catching a glimpse of this jaw-dropping town in person is an overwhelming and awe-inspiring moment that is difficult to describe in words. Founded by the Etruscans and dating back 2,500 years ago, Civita di Bagnoregio is today desperately clinging to its [...]
After my sister had sent me the details of her flight itinerary to Rome, the next email I got was an itinerary of new of places she would like to check out from the 17 places I had suggested. With slightly more than a week in Rome, it was a tight schedule especially as dinners [...]
My sister has been contemplating a visit to Rome and with many new exciting places that have just opened up, here’s another list of 17 places that she may want to check out when she is in town next. Not all are “new” openings but the list includes places which are new to me. They [...]
Before revealing the mouth-watering tastings we had while exploring the Trionfale market and the impressive new food outlets in Prati, a big thank you to Tavole Romane for the kind invitation to join them on this exciting food tour. I was eagerly looking forward to it as there were many firsts for me which I [...]
The experience at Metamorfosi was literally a transformation for me. I swore I stepped in with mixed emotions ranging from a touch of excitement, a hint of curiosity and much apprehension but I walked out completely transformed and full of praises! Allow me to share some background details to give you an idea of what [...]
While you’ll find the most obvious relics from Rome’s past in the city’s squares, basilicas and ancient ruins, the food here also has a story to tell. Fresh, locally sourced ingredients have ruled Rome ever since there were laws governing how extravagant (or not) a meal could be – and over the years food has [...]
This post on Open Colonna and Open Baladin was written by my sister who was here earlier this year. She was able to check out a good number of places during her two-week visit and while these aren’t necessary her favorite places, here’s her take on these two places to eat in Rome. Open Colonna: [...]
September was an extremely busy month and I apologize for the lack of updates. While I had to put a lot of things on hold (including writing posts), eating fortunately (or unfortunately), wasn’t one of them. Though time was limited, I was still able to sneak in breakfast with my wonderful friends Gillian and Heather [...]
When traveling to Rome, it’s easy to know which attractions to check out but knowing where to eat well is always the bigger challenge. If you want a good cappuccino with cornetto, a slice of pizza or a place for an aperitivo, you will need to do some research. Doing so means you won’t get [...]
It’s awesome to see some new places opening up in Rome that are located in centro storico (historic centre). What’s even more important is that the food and prices are decent. I have also included two gelaterie in this listing as they deserve the mention. Except for the couple of weeks I was in Sicily, [...]
