A taste of our Rome Guide
Here are a few handpicked places from our complete guide, designed to make your stay in Rome special.
Neve di Latte
A celebrated gelateria renowned for its dedication to premium, natural ingredients. They craft exceptionally creamy and flavorful gelato using organic milk and top-tier selections of nuts, chocolate, and fresh seasonal fruits. A must-visit for an authentic, high-quality Italian gelato experience.
Bonci Pizzarium
Often called the “Michelangelo of Pizza,” Gabriele Bonci’s Pizzarium near the Vatican is a must-visit for ‘pizza al taglio’ (pizza by the slice, sold by weight). Expect creative, high-quality toppings that change frequently, served on a distinctive airy crust. It can get very crowded, but it’s worth the wait.
Teatro Stanze Segrete
An intimate and experimental theatre space located in Trastevere, often housed in a basement or cellar-like venue (‘stanze segrete’ means secret rooms). Known for its ‘off-circuit’ productions, contemporary dramaturgy, and creating a close connection between performers and the audience. Check their schedule for current shows.
Cinema Azzurro Scipioni
A historic art-house cinema (‘Cinema d’Essai’) in the Prati district, managed by filmmaker Silvano Agosti. Known for its unique and often retrospective programming, featuring classic films, auteur cinema, and Agosti’s own works in an intimate setting.
Teatro Ambra Jovinelli
A historic theatre in the Esquilino neighborhood, near Termini station. Today it’s primarily known for hosting popular contemporary Italian plays, especially comedies, often featuring well-known Italian actors and stand-up comedians. Check their official website for the current season’s schedule and tickets.
Eggs
Located in Trastevere, Eggs is a modern bistrot specializing in creative dishes centered around eggs. They are particularly famous for their various takes on Carbonara, including versions with truffle or their signature ‘Strappazzo di Carbonara’ (scrambled Carbonara). A great spot for brunch or a unique pasta experience.

This public park on Monte Mario serves as a primary access point to reach the top of Rome’s highest hill. While the villa itself may not be visitable, the park provides pathways leading to the ‘Zodiaco’ viewpoint, offering stunning panoramic vistas across Rome, including St. Peter’s Basilica.
Biblioteca dell’Orologio (Clock Tower Library)
A public library belonging to the Biblioteche di Roma network, located near Piazza della Chiesa Nuova and adjacent to Borromini’s famous Oratorio dei Filippini (which features a clock tower – ‘orologio’). Offers book lending, reading spaces, and potentially cultural events. Check website for opening hours and services.
Great apartment and great location! All major sights are in 15-20 min walking distance. You have cafes, restaurants and shops (and a city spa 😉 within 100mtrs. The place is very central yet quiet, great for families . Gianluca is a great host and was very friendly, flexible and always reacted immediately. I hope to be back to this place and Rome in the future!

Gianluca’s place is a great location and a great space too! We enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back again.

The apartment is beautiful. Martina was very easy to reach when there were questions.
The interior design is as described, very chic with a mix of modern and antique.
The location is key, it’s just between Pantheon and Piazza Navona and has a little cafe next door where you can have a coffee and pastry at the bar. A little convenient store is also next door and a bigger shop is just a block away.
It was a lovely stay in the apartment.
