Day 6: Today was a hot one in Roma! We started with breakfast at Taba Cafè • Campo dé Fiori (another client recommendation!), avocado toast and giant cappuccinos for me and my sister. We then headed toward Colosseo where we met our guide Alessandra from Rutas Romanas. We saw the Forum and the Colosseum. Did you know many fighters in these battles were volunteers, or rather, employed? (If you survived, that is 💰) My dad and the other husbands on our tour were recruited to do some reenacting (my dad had to play Nero). For a 90°F + day, Alessandra kept us all moving, entertained, and informed for 3 HOURS. Although I got a pretty brutal sunburn, it was definitely one of the highlights of the trip.

After some water, aloe, and a nap, we actually headed back to Taba for empanadas, pizza, and pesto potatoes. Yum!

Day 5: This morning started off with breakfast at DAR CONTE, including caffe freddo in an martini glass. We then headed back toward Vatican City for the Rome Leonardo Da Vinci Museum (a lot like the Van Gogh Expo in Schenectady!). This interactive (!!!) exhibit highlighted not only his art, but also his inventions, and was so worth the trip. After that we taxied to Enoteca Trastevere, actually recommended to me by an italyMONDO client! The tris de bruschette was the perfect shared lunch.

After a rest, we headed to Elle Effe Restaurant Cocktail Wine Bar for some Sicilian food - pasta alla norma and cannoli. The food reminded my mom of her mom and grandparents! We then enjoyed a beautiful night people watching with our new friend from Dallas.

Let’s talk food: a late breakfast this morning entailed Irish coffee and a ricotta and spinach omelette at Mercato Hosteria Campo Di Fiori in Campo de Fiori (I was sleepy). We had snacks throughout the day, but had appetizers (suppli and zucchini flowers) and aperol spritzes at DAR CONTE. After walking that off, we got dinner at Ai Balestrari, where I finally got cacio de pepe of my own. Thanks to some Instagram accounts about Italy I follow, I knew these were some Roman standards I had to try.
