Nuovo Mondo

Welcome to Rome! I know this city can be overwhelming, so I'm here to help! I've divided this guide in various sections (neighbourhood names). These are my favorite places to eat and drink in the Eternal City Please remember it is always best to make reservations while in Rome. If you show up to a restaurant and they are fully booked, they most likely send you away, there is no concept of waiting in line for the next table to free up in Rome (there are some exceptions like most pizza places) Tipping in restaurants is not expected, but it is always very much appreciated! Please remember that tips can only be left in cash so make sure to always have some smaller pieces on hand (it is also preferred when paying for small things like a coffee or water bottle in a bar)

This guide is the combination of my experience studying ancient Roman art + being an expat living in Rome for 5 years. (Plus being married to an Italian!) I have personally been to each location included in this guide to ensure quality.

3 Month Campervan road trip which covered 13 countries (if you include The Vatican City) listed below: Belgium The Netherlands Germany Italy (and The Vatican City) Greece Albania Montenegro Bosnia and Herzegovina Croatia Slovenia Switzerland France This is all the places I have recently travelled to in a my campervan on a wonderful 3 month road trip. The map includes restaurant recommendations and all the places we stopped to visit. We did a lot of snorkelling and hiking as well as city visits where we enjoyed trying the different cuisines of the new countries.
