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. Even before we moved to Rome and would be here just for the holidays, we would stop by this bakery. Along with a few other [...] Browsing Rome with Agnes

I graduated with an M.A. in Architectural History from Edinburgh University in 1999, and didn’t know what to do next so came to Rome to do a CELTA (English Language teaching course) and have a think.

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.

Share After many failed attempts this summer, I finally had lunch at L’Asino d’Oro.

Share As I had mentioned in an earlier post, I was going to stop by again at the kosher bakery in the Jewish Ghetto to try their pizza ebraica. If you are expecting something savory, it’s really deceptive because it’s nothing like pizza. While the baked goods tend to look burnt and unappealing in this [...] Saturday at Lake Bracciano
