Everyday Food I Love

Spotted a sign on Via Nazionale of a Chinese restaurant, tucked away just off the main road, the entrance down an alley way behind a newspaper stand is not the most inviting, but it more than makes up for this with the food, which was really good. Well I think is worth a visit if you like Chinese food. Food here are generous and tasty. The service was rapid and the staff was friendly. Our dinner was quite good, actually, the taste not adjusted for European taste, and for Rome not expensive.

This restaurant has a great atmosphere with tables on the sidewalk with jazz playing music and candles on the tables. It's very convenient and easy to locate this place if you're staying around Roma Termini area. It's a super busy restaurant, please be ready for a little wait. They are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner,  at lunch hours, you can order some set lunch which is more value for money. They serves up some good pizza and pasta with a friendly services.

Romans like their coffee fast, strong and burning hot. They gulp it down, on the run. Drink and go that's the philosophy. It’s part of the lifestyle, a persistent aroma that envelopes people from morning till after dinner. Many Romans drink five or more espressos per day. Bars and cafés are their temples. So it’s hard to rate the best. This is the best example of the classical Roman bar: tiny, plain, familiar. Drinking an average of some 6,000 coffees a day, clients range from all places have had coffee here.

The Colosseum is probably the most famous landmark in Rome. Built in the 1st century AD, this great arena could seat 45,000 spectators and was the largest Roman amphitheater in the world.  It hosted gladiatorial combats, spectacles with wild beasts and possibly the execution of early Christians. Throughout the Middle Ages, the Colosseum was believed to be a place of martyrdom and was therefore regarded as a sacred place.

If you are looking for a simple and good value Roman trattoria, this is likely one of it, located close to Terminal Station and hotels in Rome. You wont be let down by staff and food at Capitello, nice small Italian restaurant with fantastic home made pizzas at a reasonable price.

The quality of the food at Tazio Restaurant is really good, their wait staff was very polite and professional; and it has a pleasant atmosphere. I had a great lunch here with my friend. The restaurant is located in the beautiful Boscolo hotel exedra, located on the piazza repubblica.

After long walk from piazza esplanade, Canova is a great place to stop by for a quick lunch and people watch. You can sit under sun or shade to watch people, tourist and working people. Food here quite decent but this place was very busy.

La Giunca was perfect to satisfy my craving for a Chinese meal, the food here is more home cooked style that really suited my palate. This restaurant has a nice and comfortable decor and provide a friendly service. Price of dishes here are reasonable value for money. For Asian who are craving for a bowl of jasmine rice with simple dishes to accompany it, then you should check out this place.

Campo de' Fiori, a public square for century, it is well known marketplace. The statue you see with a homeboy name Giordano Bruno in the black cloak located in the middle of the square is a philosopher who was burned alive where the memorial stands now, the darkside of this place, it was a public execution venue during the rennaissance time. Forno is where many tourists end up, this place was more of a bakery than a pizzeria, and that all they really had to offer were red and white cuts. Pizza was cut width-wise across, then folds up back make it looks like a pizza sandwich....a must try food!
