Although cruise ships dock
at Civitavecchia, outside of the city, cruise buses
easily whisk you into the heart of old Rome.
Spend some time exploring
this fabulous city on your own and enjoy some of the
finest food anywhere.
The Eternal City
Osteria da Giovanni ar
Galletto
Piazza Farnese, 102
Just off Campo de' Fiori.
Must Try:
Antipasto,
fettucine alla carciofi.
Review: A warm
evening in the seating outdoors looking right to the
beautiful Palazzo Farnese, the setting of Act II of
Puccini's Tosca, can be a breathtaking
experience. The food is good and reasonably priced and
the owner is likely to sit down to chat. $$
Piazza Farnese
Friends at Giovanni's
Antico Forno
Campo de' Fiori, 22
Must Try: Pizza bianca - white pizza with oil, herbs
and salt.
Review: Crowded at lunch but well worth the wait.
Also try primi piatti, pasta or gnocchi. $
Campo de' Fiori
Gelato
More of a state of
mind that a food or dessert, gelato is one of the
greatest Italian contributions to world culture.
Here are two of
the best places to seek out:
Giolitti
Via degli Uffici del Vicario, 40
Near the Pantheon.
A great place
for people watching.
San Crispino
Via della Pannetteria, 42
Near the Trevi Fountain
