Enjoy the Heady Taste of Italy
Like many European destinations, the city wonderfully showcases its culinary specialities and it's famous for providing among the finest dining experiences in the world. The best way to get the undiluted taste of Italy is to eat in places the locals frequent and recommend.
Since it is a fairly small city, staying in any Rome luxury hotel will give you easy access to some of the most excellent restaurants. Here are some key points to remember.
The Best Way to Enjoy Pizza
Since this city is the capital of Italy, you shouldn't miss out on enjoying authentic pizza - one of the world's most loved culinary masterpieces, celebrated in many different forms. The best time to enjoy pizza is during the evening meal. This is because most of the quality restaurants spend most of the day getting the right oven temperature.
Many locals would agree, Da Baffetto, which is situated along Vie del Governo Vecchio is most definitely the best place to enjoy this popular Italian repast.
Discover their Version Of Happy Hour
You will discover that an important part of the city's social scene is 'l'aperitivo', a variation of the happy hour. It is mostly devoted to socialising with colleagues and friends after work, typically between 7-9pm. Many restaurants feature a buffet of appetizers, which helps infuse conviviality to this custom.
Among the highly ideal venues for enjoying l'aperitivo, for those who want to see and be seen, is Crudo - located on Via degli Specchi. Another wonderful place to check out is Société Lutece, nestled cosily on Piazza Monte Vecchio - a place often frequented by a colourful mix of young professionals and bohemians.
If you prefer to join the livelier, younger crowd, the Salotto 42, which you can find on Piazza di Pietra is the best way to go. Other favourite places of professionals and university students are the Café Friends, Bar Gelateria Pompi, and Momart Café. Just ask the concierge of your Rome luxury hotel for directions to these places.
