Eating in Rome:
I suggest checking out some of my fellow expats’ sites which are rich in information:
- Katie Parla. Her Rome city guide. All her Rome archives.
- Katie also has an app, Rome for Foodies (iPhone and Android), which has some great suggestions and doesn’t need an internet connection to work.
- Katie does tours! culinary, archeological, and art historical itineraries, as well as wine and beer tastings, too.
- Vino Roma – wine tasting & tours – I wrote about a wonderful franciacorta aperitivo there.
- Elizabeth Minchilli – her Rome restaurants archives. She also has an app for Rome as well as other cities, and she does food tours, too.
- Eleonora’s Aglio, Olio e Peperonicino has lots of information about Rome & a page about Where to eat in Rome.
- The American – lots of focus on living in Italy, but also information about food & events, too, especially In Cucina (which Eleonora contributes to frequently).
- The Breakfast Review is a review of a lot of places to get breakfast, by Italians, in Italian.
To get around Rome:
- Muoversi a Roma – in Italian. There’s also an app for iPhone and Android.
- Google Maps also gives good transit options (beware of roaming data charges).
- CarSharing in Rome.
Staying in Rome:
- Katie has a list of Where to Stay in Rome on Parla Food.
- The Beehive – a luxury hostel near the main train station.
- Cross Pollinate – a network of rentable apartments in Rome; highly recommended for small groups (4+ people) traveling together – you can get an entire apartment to yourselves.
- Airbnb in Rome – stay in a shared room, private room, or an entire apartment/house rented directly to you by the owners. Increasingly growing in popularity, so new options being added all the time.
