Share If you are wondering if The Perfect Bun is a restaurant in Rome or a bakery, I can’t blame you. There is the Perfect Bun Bakery and then there is the Perfect Bun restaurant. They are under the same ownership and are just a few minutes walk from one another. While I have had [...] BR Briefs – Lunch at L’Asino d’Oro

Share Last week, I was craving Indian food and we decided to try out an Indian restaurant in Rome which was listed in the SmartBox gift that we received. While we get a wide choice of different Italian food here in Rome, I have found it difficult to find good ethnic restaurants. A year [...]
