Occasion: Late Night Winter Desserts! Impressions: Here’s a great dessert recommendation! If you have a sweet tooth, are tired of the gelato/tiramisu/desserts in the center of Rome and want to go to a place where the locals (college kids of Rome) go…Matrem is the place. They sell pangoccioli! For those of you who don’t know, … More Matrem Bakery
Updated July 6, 2024 Occasion: Quick/Casual Weekday Lunches Initial Impressions: I came here by chance because I was in a rush for lunch and this was near my Italian lessons.

I liked the ambience very much and decided to … More MAIO Restaurant & Rooftop Roma (Dinner)
Venchi is the dessert of choice and honestly has the best gelato in Rome from what I have tried. I wouldn’t listen to what people say about Venchi being touristic or industrialized gelato etc…this Gelateria has many customers for a reason and there is always a line from opening to closing for a reason. This … More Venchi
Occasion: Sunday Evening Dinner Initial Impressions: We pass this place all the time. It looks nice and is in a touristic area. It was about 3/4 full when we arrived and 1/2 full when we left. It was relatively easy to maneuver around the restaurant. I can give them an A for trying to be … More Baccano
La pace del palatoHo deciso di provare questo ristorante perché mi è stato consigliato da un amico.

Sebbene non avessi ordinato antipasti, mi hanno … More La Pace del Palato (Paolo’s Versione)

I was a bit annoyed because it looked … More La Pace del Palato
(In my initial review, I placed Le Tavernelle at 4 stars. However, this has actually become one of our favorite restaurants in Rome for its price point, service, and food quality. Also, I have recommended this to friends and family visiting Rome and Le Tavernelle has also fit their taste. Therefore I must give this … More Le Tavernelle
Occasion: Dessert after a Saturday night dinner Gelato: I walked in and wasn’t convinced. There are multiple locations, we went to the one near Trastevere. I wanted Venchi a short walk away at Pantheon, but I figured it would be fine to try something new. The gelato was whatever. I don’t remember anything notable about … More Gunther Gelato Italiano
