Ristorante da Nello al Montegrappa

This is our favorite place in Bologna. If you are going to Bologna, make a reservation here as soon as possible. We like sitting in the basement. I’ll write more later. Allie found and picked this place on December 16th 2021. Basement dining room is awesome. We had fried mix appetizer with zucchini, calamari, shrimp, […]

Osteria Bancogiro

This restaurant is right on the water in Venice. Great for dinner or pre dinner drinks and appetizers. In a row with many other restaurants. Cool place to hang out and watch the boats go by. Also good area for after dinner drinks.

Locanda Blues

Allie and I went here one night. We walked from the castle we were staying at. We walked through town, then past a restaurant, then down a dirt road. We passed 2 wild dogs and started to get worried. We finally found Locando Blues. It was empty and they were getting ready to have a […]

Antica Osteria Da Pietro

Allie and I ate here our first time to rome and got the green lasagna. We ate here again on December 23rd, 2022. I got the lamb and it was great and very large. The mixed bruschetta is one of the best we have ever had. You could really taste the garlic.

Ristorante La Tavernaccia Da Bruno

Cozy tavern serving up homestyle pasta & Roman meat dishes in a space with exposed brick arches. If you look around a place to eat a true real Italian food with an amazing care during your experience, please go there. I highly recommend this place, and if you are lucky to get Adriano, he will […]

Cybo

Roman classics, creative tasting menus & cocktails in an elegant restaurant with a terrace. Allie and I revisited on October 7th, 2021. Needed a bathroom break and a drink before going to pipero for dinner, It looked Awesome!

Ristorante Da Meo Patacca

Ivy-clad, 19th-century taverna with a rustic interior, for classic Roman pasta & hearty meat dishes. I big fun place. This restaurant is in the heart of Trestevere. It has live music, a silly extra Italian vibe, and is great for big groups. It’s a nice walk from central Rome and kids love it! Adults love […]

Trattoria Al Gran Sasso

I have eaten here several times. They usually keep the fresh ingredient of the day in the window. Very local. Surprisingly large basement. Nice quiet quality dinner. Great waiters, great wine, authentic, semi upscale.

Da Bucatino

Relaxed restaurant with bare bricks & beams, serving traditional Roman meat & seafood, plus pizza. We have been here several times. The owner is an older gentleman (a grandfatherly type). He routinely comes by the table and tries to convince you that you are not full and CAN in fact eat more. This is in […]
