Chiara's Rome

Feeling like cooking your home made pasta but don't actually have time (you are in holiday for God's sakè!) To make It yourself? Don't miss the real Italian experience and Just buy It from a local laboratory. I just discovered this home made fresh pasta place in the heart of Trastevere old neighborhood.

Il Tortellino, Via Luigi Santini 18, next to Le Levain, my favorite Bakery in Town.

Hey New York City friends! We can meet again ❤️ I am in town with my wife for her concert on May 19th, Stage 2 at Rockwood Music Hall, 6.30pm, no cover!
Will you join us for some good music?!

DOLCHE | Rockwood Music Hall Gender agnostic, bored by social media, worried for the fate of humanity and angrily ironic, Dolche comes back to New York with brand new music. A solo show to present her fluid music looping electric guitar, electronic drums, heavenly harmonies, and vocoder effects. Looking for homologation? This I...

My friends! How are you doing? A long time passed since we all took a holiday and many of us have experienced hard times and losses. This post is not to suggest, as I always do, good places to eat or to enjoy in my beloved Roma, but just to say thank you.
Some of you sent me this new thing, a postcard from Airbnb, to tell me their love and ask me how I am. I am profoundly touched when I understand that you truly remember me and the good experiences you had here.
I wish you all the best and hope to see you again one day and be able to hug again!!!
Hugs

Nora Thai Massage Center:
OMG! The best Thai Massage in Europe...and I have been to Thailand 😉 I just found out of this place in the very heart of Roma and I am already addicted. Very clean, very professional, 50€ for a full hour massage (relax or strong pressure). After a day exploring the city I think this is the best reward.
Check it out amd choose the one in Via Torino 150.

Gelateria dei Gracchi:
Spring arrived early this year in Roma! It is already time for gelato. I personally eat gelato all year long but I get that with the warm breeze of the Roman ponentino wind everything gets better!
Today I suggest you my #1, absolute best gelato in Roma. Only seasonal fruit and ingredients, only fresh products with no other crap added. Many choices for celiacs and lactose intolerants. The texture is so smooth and the taste so unique that you just want more and more!
Here the website (only Italian) on the page of the location of their 4 shops in town)

Wow!! I never thought, when I begun writing here, that so many people would have liked and followed my local tips about Roma. I love my city and I am very happy to share it with all of you! Thank you a thousand times for traveling and discovering the world! In this historical period of division and fear let’s keep crossing borders and enjoy and defend the beauty of every different country/mentality/nature/human being.

Did you know that the First Sunday of every month you can enter for free many museums and monuments in Roma?! I always take this chance to go and visit my favorite spots (Galleria Borghese is top of my personal list!).
I selected this interesting article for you so that you can find a detailed list of the sites

Enjoy my friends!! Art is love!

Dear friends, I am very proud to announce that I compleely refurbished my Un Amore property in the pedestrian area of central Trastevere! Give it a look and spread the word with your friends if you like it.
Big hug, Chiara

Le Levain.
Wowowow!!! I just bumped into this ptisserie/brasserie in old Trastevere neighborhood and felt in love. A lot of people keep asking me for a good breakfast...well don’t look further. Le Levain daily bakes amazing salty and sweet delicacies. From the croissants to the sandwiches everything is fresh and delicious. The self service coffee machine makes a marvelous espresso from coffee grains. The only low side is that you can use the high tables to eat but there are no chairs or stools.
Le Levain is in Via Luigi Santini, very close to my Un Amore apartment and to San Cosimato square. Here their website:

Happy new year to all of my present and past guests. You always make this adventure fun and soul-enriching for me. I wish you a 2019 full of travels!!!
