ITALY here we come!!!!

Posted by spoonful / 4 comments » / about me, travels, wedding

In exactly one month the SC & I will be holding our wedded hands together & strolling down the streets of Rome, Italy on our honeymoon. To say I am excited is obviously an understatement. I cannot wait to see all of the historic sights & of course let the wedding diet go & indulge in copius amounts of gelato & italian pasta!

However, with the wedding & new job I haven’t had a ton of time to research Rome & all of it’s fine attractions & eateries. Have any of you been before & if so what do you suggest? Thank you! I promise an extensive post on all of the fabulous food & good times once we have returned.

    I just came back from Rome and I have a few great recs.
    Life changing Pasta Carbonara at Riscioli’s. (http://www.salumeriaroscioli.com/Roscioli_Eng/bakery.htm) Make sure to make a reservation. It’s a more modern take on Italian, in a deli, very young and vibrant.

    A fun bite for daytime food was Pizzarium (by the Vatican – right of the train stop) 3 Via della Meloria . Pizza made on sourdough Foccaccia. I am not a fan of this type of pizza normally – but I really liked it and we sampled quite a few.

    There are some really great contributors on CHOWHOUND that I would check out as well. This is one: http://www.maureenbfant.com/

    Last time I was in Rome I ate at Trattoria Monti and LOVED it. I still dream about a giant ravioli I ate there smothered in truffles.

    Try to get off into the more local neighborhoods like Trastevere anytime you can. The Chowhound posts will steer you.

    If you are a crazy foodie – I really sugest you take a few hours and read up on Chowhound, and make some reservations…Rome is still very very crowded and it is easier then not to get an average meal.

    But when you hit it right….WOW. Congrats on your upcoming wedding and I hope you have an incredible trip.

      oh man I really wish I had seen your comment before going. Those are all great recommendations. We did go to Trastevere and LOVED it. So many great restaurants there.
