A rather expensive lunch experience but one worth paying for: Restaurant Pianostrada Laboratorio di Cucina (20. March 2022)

Luckily, I had booked the “Pianostrada Laboratorio di Cucina” in advance since else it’s relatively difficult to score a table as a walk-in. The place is nice but if you’re unlucky you get a relatively small table which makes it hard to put everything on there. Once you’ve placed your order, you get a bit […]

A rather disappointing breakfast experience: Restaurant Atmosfera @ The Regency, Rome, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel (20. March 2022)

When I’m staying at a Marriott hotel, I’m always somehow hoping to get a great breakfast buffet. Unfortunately, that’s not the case at The Regency. However, they have kind of an exhaustive breakfast menu from which you can pick your dishes. Frankly though, the prices are quite steep overall since you’d end up paying more […]

Some delicious dishes and some rather unexciting ones: Restaurant Moma (19. March 2022)

Some delicious dishes and some rather unexciting ones: Restaurant Moma (19. March 2022)

When you walk to the Restaurant Moma you would not expect it to be a Michelin starred restaurant since from the outside the place is relatively small and somewhat ‘hidden’. It turns out though, once you enter and go up the stairs, there is ‘much more restaurant’ than it seems at first. The place is […]

Great for a drink and the view, overpriced for lunch: Restaurant Mater Terrae @ Bio Hotel Raphaël – Relais & Châteaux (19. March 2022)

Great for a drink and the view, overpriced for lunch: Restaurant Mater Terrae @ Bio Hotel Raphaël – Relais & Châteaux (19. March 2022)

The Mater Terrae was recommended by the ‘Free Walking Tour Guide’ since it is listed in the Guide Michelin as a vegetarian restaurant. In my humble opinion, it’s not a place you must visit. Let me explain why. Once you’re seated you get a nice selection of different breads which is enjoyable, no question. They […]

An authentic Italian food experience where I hadn’t expected it: Ristorante La Pollarola (18. March 2022)

An authentic Italian food experience where I hadn’t expected it: Ristorante La Pollarola (18. March 2022)

Since the Restaurant I had booked via the hotel didn’t really acknowledge my reservation, I had to go somewhere else and eventually ended up in the La Pollarola. At first, I was a bit pissed since I really wanted to try the restaurant I had originally booked. However, it turned out that the La Pollarola […]

8. July 2012: Ristorante Al Braciere

Antipasti is a typical Italian thing – so I decided to have something which was not that typical and went for “Fried Zucchini flower with anchovies” (fiori di Zucca fritti con alici; EUR 3.00). The fried zucchini flower was good and the anchovies provided it with the right amount of saltiness. As one antipasto is […]

7. July 2012: Bar La Perla Mediterranea

Somehow very great place – located right next to the river Tiber is a little wooden patio with cheap plastic chairs and tables. So it is not really the place itself which is appealing but much more its location. The proximity to the river and the possibility to enjoy a shisha (EUR 10.00) there somewhen […]

7. July 2012: Ristorante L’invincibile

“What if Cristiano chooses for you?” is the name of the Gourmet menu (EUR 50.00) which is offered in the Ristorante L’invincibile. And believe me, Cristiano’s choice is a good one! Starting with a surprise from the kitchen (a dumpling on mint and pea purree) the evening was already on a good track. The combination […]
