Blogging about my experiences and sharing my thoughts about Rome, Italy and beyond.
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 [...]
Going to bootcamp at Circo Massimo may not be so bad after all especially because I have realized there are two really good places to get a treat after a workout. That’s why we workout right, so that we can indulge once in a while (or more). One offers some lovely variety of pastries which [...]
Better known as Palazzo del Freddo Giovanni Fassi, I think they have one of the best gelato in Rome for classic flavors. This was one of the first gelateria Luca brought me to and remembered thinking “This gelateria is huge by any standards and the gelato so unbelievably flavorful”. When we have guests visiting us, [...]
As I have mentioned in previous posts, I am usually on the run at lunch and can only get a quick bite. So when I first heard about Lasagnam from some tweeps (people on Twitter), I had thought about checking it out. However, life gets in the way and got a friendly reminder when I [...]
Last week I was able to finally meet my sister-in-law for a quick bite at a place she has been wanting to bring me to for quite some time. She had mentioned several times that they have very good arancini here as well as brioche siciliana. As I have mentioned before, I usually work during [...]
It’s given that you can get some really good pizza in Rome. What Rome is well-known for is pizza al taglio or pizza by the slice. It’s not a slice of a round pizza but rather these pizza are rectangular and you can decide how big or small of a slice you want. You would [...]
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 places [...]
My name’s Agnes Crawford, I’m originally from London. 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. Nearly 12 years later I’m still here. I’m licenced as a [...]
