Hi everyone! It’s been a while and today I am just going to be cranking out lots of new articles and things for my blog, so bear with me.

Occasion: Sunday Night Dinner (and to train Paolo to eat asian food before he goes to America LOL ) Initial Impressions: The time has come. After 5 months into only Italian food, I was dying for Japanese. If you’ve been following this blog you know my caution with “Michelin guide” restaurants. Shiroya is on the … More Shiroya
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.

Occasion: Saturday Night Dinner (View from the top floor taken by me hahaha) Initial Impressions: (This is partly from my aperitif review, for those of you that already read it) I was introduced to Maio by my sweet sales associate Ke Li at Chloe in Rinascente.

We did not make any … More MAIO Restaurant & Rooftop Roma (Aperitivo)
Occasion: Dinner via Deliveroo Initial Impressions: This place is TikTok famous.

I was interested how they would hold up against All’Antico Vinaio. LOL as you can see … More Con Mollica O Senza
Occasion: Sunday Evening Dinner Initial Impressions: It was hard to find this restaurant because it is really small. I also wasn’t so sure of the place because next door there was this disgusting bar with flies all in their food display case. Once Seated: The decorations inside are very pretty. I liked the ambience very … More Il Salotto Del Colosseo
Welcome to my first “places to hang out” review! Occasion: When you want to relax or do your nails in Rome!!!

However, every time I went to their website for last minute appointments they never seemed to … More Nailbar Gamax
Occasion: Afternoons Initial Impressions: I really like illy cafe! As the weather heats up in Rome and tourist season begins again, I thought I’d finally post my cafe option along with the afternoon tea option. Also a few readers have voiced privately that many of my reviews are done on places that are not so … More Illy Montecitorio (Illy Cafe)
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
