Great list! A caffe' americano in the States is also espresso with some water, at least in San Francisco and Hawaii :)
50 Signs That Rome Is Really Home
You might be used to your walk to work looking like this, for starters. What's living in Italy really like? Here are some of the ways you'll know when you've lived here for a while—and that Rome has changed you (...for better or for worse!). 1. You walk into oncoming traffic without blinking...
Love that photo, especially with the modern Popemobile juxtaposed with the McCafe sign.
Pope Benedict XVI Resigning February 28
Pope Benedict XVI in healthier days: on the Day of the Immaculate Conception in 2010 Big news from Rome: The Vatican announced this morning that Pope Benedict XVI is resigning at the end of the month. The last time a Pope resigned, it was in 1415—and the purpose was to end the Western Schism...
Great post! I really loved Flavio al Velavevodetto. Such a lovely restaurant :)
I'll be sure to check out the other restaurants when I'm back in Rome. Hopefully next year!

My Three No-Fail Rome Restaurants

This is a wonderfully useful post. I was in Rome for a month solo and I'm not much of a solo diner. I'd love to know your favorite take-out/to-go places in these areas :)
Grazie,

Where to Eat in Rome's Most Touristy Areas
I've said it before: When you're looking for good restaurants in Rome, get thee away from the city's tourist centers. The farther from the Colosseum, Pantheon, or Spanish Steps you are, the better and cheaper -- in general -- the food is going to be. That said? Sometimes, after a day of sights...
I took a trip to Naples from Rome :) It was amazing (a bit chaotic too, of course). Next time I'm going to the others!
Hopefully you'll have some spare time a year from now for a cappuccino o qualcosa!
Five Weekend Escapes from Rome, in Pictures
Looking to get out of Rome for a couple of days? Here are five of my favorite weekend escapes! Siena, one of my favorite cities, boasts medieval streets, incredible Renaissance art, graceful palaces, and one of the most incredible churches in Italy. It's a 3-hour train ride from Rome. Check ou...
I'm definitely going to check this out the next time I'm out there... which will likely be tonight :) Recommended Open Baladin to some travelers and somehow I became the organizer.
Handpainted Porcelain at Picta, an Artisanal Shop in Rome
Add another Rome artisan to my list of favorites: Marina Graziana, the artist behind Picta Porcellane. Located in a small workshop around the corner from Campo dei Fiori, Marina handpaints porcelain cups, bowls, saucers, vases, and more. Her designs range from classic and elegant to fun and whi...
