Retrobottega Via della Stelletta 4 00186 Roma RM Italy TripAdvisor We decided to stray from the more traditional Roman/Italian fare visiting this fairly contemporary restaurant. It seemed like more of a local joint, if not at least tourist free. That seemed promising since we hadn’t had too much luck with Giolitti, which was overrun…

Giolitti
Giolitti Via degli Uffici del Vicario 40 00186 Roma RM Italy TripAdvisor Our search for gelato continues. We were in love with Grom and hoped for more great things with this famous and ever popular gelato parlour. The hoards of customers amped up the anticipation. The flavor selection was plentiful compared to the other gelato…
Cantina e Cucina
Cantina e Cucina Via del Governo Vecchio 87 00186 Roma RM Italy TripAdvisor Back to Rome! The hunt for quality food in a city chalk full of tourist traps begins again. Crispy Roman Artichoke Artichokes are a Roman thing, so as they say “when in Rome…” Deep fried and crispy. Can’t say it was anything…
Colline Emiliane
Colline Emiliane Via degli Avignonesi 22 00187 Roma RM Italy TripAdvisor Whittling through the lists of recommended eats in Rome was quite the task. Reviews for any number of places would range from “outstanding” to “mediocre” so it became hard to find places that truly elicited true excitement. The reviews for Colline Emiliane seemed solid…
I Dolci Di Nonna Vicenza
I Dolci Di Nonna Vicenza Via dell’Arco del Monte 98/A/B 00186 Roma RM Italy TripAdvisor I’d never given much thought about cannolis until visiting Boston. The cannolis I had at Modern Pastry and Mike’s Pastry totally changed my opinion of this humble Italian sweet. An awesome cannoli is worth an extra trek to find how…
Gelateria Grom
Gelateria Grom Via della Maddalena 30a 00186 Roma RM Italy TripAdvisor I never understood why people made such a big deal about gelato. It just looked like a softer version of American ice cream. I’ve had gelato before, and in Italy even, but that was YEARS ago before my love for food really kicked into…
Il Mercato Centrale Roma
Il Mercato Centrale Roma Roma Termini Via Giovanni Giolitti 36 00185 Roma RM Italy TripAdvisor “Food court” used to by synonymous with mediocre fast food in a designated area of a shopping mall. In the last 20 years, the prototypical shopping mall has not been able to maintain the same foothold in the consumer culture…
Life Ristorante
Life Ristorante Via della Vite 28 00187 Roma RM Italy TripAdvisor Rome attracts many tourists for its many famous remnants and relics of ancient Roman culture and civilization. You go to Rome to see the Vatican, Colosseum, St. Peter’s Basilica, the list goes on and on. At times, we felt like we were just looking…
Maccheroni Express
Maccheroni Express Via Cavour 245 00184 Roma RM Italy TripAdvisor If you’re big on meat, seafood, and wine, Spain is the place for you. If you love vegetables and carbs other than bread, the cuisine might not be as appealing. I enjoyed the food in Spain, but tired of it quickly. The protein onslaught was…
Overworked. Underfed.
