A taste of our Rome Guide
Here are a few handpicked places from our complete guide, designed to make your stay in Rome special.
Il Gelato di San Crispino
A renowned artisanal gelateria near the Trevi Fountain, considered one of Rome’s classics. Focuses on pure, high-quality, seasonal flavours with no artificial additives. Famously serves only in cups (no cones) to maintain flavour integrity. Try their namesake honey ‘San Crispino’ flavour.
Velavevodetto Ai Quiriti Restaurant
Located in the Prati neighborhood on Piazza dei Quiriti, Velavevodetto ai Quiriti is the renowned sister restaurant to the famous Flavio al Velavevodetto in Testaccio. It’s celebrated for its authentic Roman cuisine, especially classic pasta dishes like Carbonara, Amatriciana, and Gricia. The atmosphere blends tradition with a refined touch, and it boasts an excellent wine list.
Villa Mazzanti (Monte Mario Access)
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.
Via della Lungara
A long street running alongside the Tiber River in Trastevere, connecting Ponte Sisto towards the Vatican/Borgo district. It passes notable sites like Villa Farnesina (with Raphael’s frescoes) and Palazzo Corsini (National Gallery of Ancient Art). Offers access points to climb the Janiculum Hill (Gianicolo) and is generally quieter than central Trastevere.
Parco degli Acquedotti (Aqueduct Park)
Part of the larger Appian Way Regional Park (Parco Regionale dell’Appia Antica), this vast park is characterized by the impressive ruins of ancient Roman aqueducts stretching across the landscape, including the Aqua Felix and Aqua Claudia. Ideal for long walks, cycling, photography, and escaping the city.
Gran Caffè la Caffettiera
An elegant, traditional Roman cafe located in the beautiful Piazza di Pietra, directly facing the ancient Temple of Hadrian. A classic spot for a quality coffee, cappuccino, pastry, or an aperitivo while enjoying the stunning view.
Gianfornaio
A high-quality bakery (‘forno’) with multiple locations across Rome. Offers a wide selection of breads, pastries (like cornetti for breakfast), cakes, and excellent ‘pizza al taglio’ with various toppings, perfect for a quick and tasty lunch or snack.
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.
Necci dal 1924
A historic spot in the heart of the trendy Pigneto neighborhood, famous for being a haunt of filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini. Opened in 1924, it retains a retro charm combined with modern touches. Features a lovely outdoor garden/patio. Serves food all day, from breakfast and coffee to lunch, aperitivo, and dinner, often featuring revisited traditional dishes.
Villa Doria Pamphili Park
Rome’s largest landscaped public park. Perfect for walking, jogging, cycling (bike rentals available), picnics, or just relaxing away from the city bustle. It features gardens, fountains, ancient ruins, and the elegant Casino del Bel Respiro (usually not open inside). Also home to Vivi Bistrot for organic food and drinks.
Il Seme Bookstore
An independent bookstore located in the Prati district. Often described by locals as having a well-curated selection, perhaps focusing on quality literature, essays, or specific genres. A good place to browse for a non-mainstream read.
Sciascia Caffè 1919
A truly historic coffee house in the Prati district, operating since 1919. Step back in time with its elegant, old-world interiors. Renowned for serving excellent espresso and coffee blends, sometimes with special preparations (like added chocolate). Also offers pastries.
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.
Danielle
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.
