Where to Eat in Rome, Some Suggestions

My post about a Japanese couple’s bad experience in a Rome restaurant sparked some discussion, and also led to Blog from Italy reader David suggesting a few places in Rome which serve good food at reasonable prices.

So, after writing about the bad, here is a little post based on David’s recommendations on some good places to try in Rome.  His advice is all the more valid in that it is also based on some insider knowledge, in that an Italian friend of his pointed him in the direction of some of the places to eat.

Please read on for David’s hot tips, and one from foodie Judith.

Setting Up a Restaurant in Italy

With Italy’s complex employment laws and fiddly bureaucracy setting up a restaurant and making it successful appears to be no easy task.

My other half was involved in the closure of a mixed bar stroke restaurant here in Milan and the business just was not making any real money.  Why? Read more

Eat like a God in the Aligia Restaurant, Vrasi

According to my Italy expert, Gaetano Salvo, ’si mangia da Deo’ – ‘you eat like a God’ (rough translation from Italian), or rather ‘the food is wonderful’ in the Aligia Restaurant (map link), down in Vrasi. Vrasi, by the way, is about half way between Salerno and Catanzaro in south Italy, and a little inland from a place called Diamante, as you will see if you click on the link above.

When someone like Gaetano, who has excellent taste in food and wine I might add, praises a restaurant, then it’s worth checking out.

If you find yourself in that neck of the woods, try it, and do let me know how well you ate – especially if you come out feeling all powerful.

I’ve asked Gaetano for some more information on Aligia Restaurant’s menu, and when he sends it to me, I’ll post it here.
