Ciao Italy mavens:
I need your lumière.
We are returning to Rome for a short 2-week stay over this Xmas and New Year.
We are looking forward to doing … not much. Just vegetating at the Caffé della Pace all the time sounds good to me.
As many know, our focus is:
- food, markets, cooking,
- archeology.
My questions:
- Can you reommend lovely off-beat museums and other visits and spots ?
- Pauline and others know I live with an archelogy fanatic. This time we are not going to Naples, so no Pompeii or Herculanum, and no voluptuous waitress with deep décolleté at the Pizzeria Trianon. But we plan to visit Ostia Antica. I have seen info about it on Slowtrav. Anything new? Like (that's a real "like), is it closed ? Any change or improvement of transport to and from there? Good eats?
- Good casual eateries in Centro storico ? We live very near the epicenter.
- Odd tips ?
Mille mercis.
P.S. The Homeaway tourist info page on Rome is useless. The first thing it tells me is where to find tonuts in Rome.
