When in Rome …

Have you ever been to Italy? To Rome? No? Then you can’t have any idea what I am talking about.

Italy is a must. A 100% not to be left off of anyone’s bucket list.
The history, art, food, wine, style, the natural professionalism of the ‘dolce far niente’ …

For me Italy is a forever love.

Last year after the worst 6 months of my life I got to go to Rome.
From the airport I was driven to the accommodation. Already in the car, just a few short minutes into the ride a sense of life hit me.
After half a year for the first time suddenly I felt alive and with each minute, with each site my eyes were able to see I was more and more so.

Apart from the kinda obvious places one visits, I loved the tiny coffee shop right next door to our place, where we had our morning coffee, the small boutiques, shops, restaurants with amazing interior designs, the people who were easy to be around, smiling, ever so colourful.
We had no detailed plan for our stay, just walked and turned corners as our hearts turned us.

One day we sat (some just left after their meal so we had the chance) to the tiny terrace of a restaurant for lunch. A fun, pro waiter, Peppe appeared and helped us to pick some mouth watering dishes. Fish, pasta with truffle … everything was above expectation.

Then at one of the evenings we went for dinner to a place that was recommended by our host. In a bit shabby looking little street, hidden under a deep arch of a gateway is a restaurant that will have you from the moment you enter. It’s interior design is what woah-s you immediately, then the staff, then the artfully presented food offering a taste-orgy. Just unbelievable what an amazing dish was created from plain broccoli. Not to mention that the manager looks like one of those magazine picture perfect guys who is selling you the Dolce Vita 😉

When you get the chance, go, and when in Rome, do as the Romans do! 🙂
Enjoy life!
