Manhattan Food Factory


Located in Via della Farnesina, 41

Situated a foot-step away from the famous nightlife area of Ponte Milvio, Manhattan Food Factory is a new restaurant which serves American cuisine cooked with Italian quality products.
The recipes are the typical American ones but the raw material is of great quality and taste. The mixture of the two creates delicious dishes which are served from breakfast to dinner.
My personal favorite is breakfast time with a choice of pancakes, muffins, chocolate chip cookies and croissants for "first breakfast" and a continuation of waffles, bagels, fruit salad, french toast and a choice of eggs for "late breakfast", all of these accompanied by freshly squeezed orange juice or American coffee. But do not despair if you don't have a sweet tooth, you will have a choice of bagels, burgers, club sandwiches, delicious salads and main courses such as BBQ ribs and fillet served with baked potato to order from for lunch and dinner. The dessert selection is also yummy with the typical NYC apple pie, homemade cheesecake, Madison square brownie and many more. Your meal can be accompanied by a small selection of white and red wines or delicious beers.
Apart from regular meal times you can also stop by for a delicious smoothie, milkshake or fresh juice and during the weekend for the typical American brunch!
The restaurant is small with a friendly atmosphere and an outside space as well. Enjoy!

Villa Aurelia


Located in Largo di Porta San Pancrazio, 1

On the top of the Gianicolo and along the Aurelian Walls lies the spectacular Villa Aurelia, built in the 17th Century for Cardinal Girolamo Farnese. The initial name given to the villa was Farnese, but due to the change in ownership the name altered to Giraud, Savorelli and Heyland, until Mrs. Heyland's will stated it should be given to the American Academy of Rome in 1909.
Villa Aurelia, which has been recently restored, is the perfect location to organize an event due to its beautiful gardens, breathtaking view of Rome and the many areas available. It is the ideal location to organize a wedding reception, dinner and many more events. The Villa doesn't have a contract with a catering agency so you can decide which spaces you want to use, the catering, the decoration and everything else. In 2012 even Masterchef Australia hosted its "Rome on a Plate" challenge in Villa Aurelia with Chef Massimo Bottura as a guest. Enjoy!

Villa Farnesina


Located in Via della Lungara, 230

Built in the early sixteenth century and designed by Bramante's pupil, Baldassarre Peruzzi, this villa represents a masterpiece of Italian Renaissance. In 1511 Villa Farnesina was designed for Agostino Chigi, a wealthy Sienese banker, who had decided to build it for his lover.
The magnificent Villa is situated in the central neighborhood of Trastevere and consists of a central structure with a five archway loggia that unfolds into two sections that are laid out on six different floors. What is spectacular are the beautiful Italian gardens outside of the Villa which represent an almost natural continuation of the Villa.
Raphael's breathtaking frescos are painted on the walls of the loggia, depicting a beautiful mythological fresco of Cupid and Psyche. Moreover, you will find frescos of Sebastiano del Piompo, Giulio Romano, Giovanni Bazzi, Giovan Francesco Penni and Baldassarre Peruzzi. You will have the opportunity to visit the Loggia of Galatea, Loggia of Cupid and Psyche, Hall of Perspectives, Alexander and Roxane's room and the Room of the Frieze. Each room will astonish you and will show you the real meaning of Italian Renaissance.
Villa Farnesina takes its name from Cardinal Alessandro Farnese who bought the villa at the end of the 16th century. The Villa was left unfinished by Agostino Chigi and in the 17th century, Gaspard Dughet   concluded the decorations. Villa Farnesina is without a doubt a beautiful architectural and artistic masterpiece and should not be missed. Enjoy!

Haute Couture in Rome



Located in the historical center

Rome's historical center is full of spectacular streets where shopping is perfect. It all depends on the type of shopping you want to do. If you are looking for mainstream stores, then Via del Corso is the perfect place for you, but if you want to buy from the haute couture brands then Via dei Condotti, Via del Babuino and Piazza di Spagna are the best places for you.
In the famous Via dei Condotti, which joins Via del Corso with Piazza di Spagna, you will find luxury brands such as Valentino, Dior, Burberry, Salvatore Ferragamo, Luis Vuitton, La Perla, Dolce&Gabbana, BVLGARI and many more. This street is definitely the one with the highest concentration of luxury brands in Rome and it is always full of people.
Instead in one of the most famous squares in the world, Piazza di Spagna, you will find thousands of tourists admiring the beautiful Spanish Steps and shopping in the great stores of the area: Roberto Cavalli, D&G, Versace, Yves Saint Laurent, Alviero Martini, Gucci, Ermenegildo Zegna and many more.
Lastly, in the beautiful Via del Babuino which joins Piazza del Popolo with Piazza di Spagna, you will find shops such as Prada, Chanel, Emporio Armani, Valentino, the famous Tiffany&Co and many more. Via del Babuino is the first street from the left from Piazza del Popolo and is definitely the most luxurious street of the Tridente. Additionally, some streets in the historical center, including Via del Babuino, have been closed to car traffic, allowing your shopping experience to be even better! Enjoy!

Euroma2 Shopping Mall



Located in Via Cristoforo Colombo, 710

Euroma2 is a shopping mall with 200 different stores located in the southern neighborhood of EUR, the most modern district of Rome.
Ever since it opened in 2008, this shopping center has been extremely popular and many Romans come here to shop for mainstream stores such as Pull&Bear, Bershka, Timberland, Adidas, Accessorize, Stradivarius, ZARA, Quicksilver as well as luxurious brands such as Prima Classe, Armani Jeans, Calvin Klein, Carla G, David Saddler and many more.
In addition, the recent opening of the beautiful Apple Store on the first floor has brought even more people to shop at Euroma2. As it can be imagined, because it is not a central shopping mall, it is mostly frequented by Romans. However, if you want to shop in chain stores which are not present in the center you might want to drop by. The shopping mall also has 30 cafes, a floor dedicated to food courts, a supermarket and a built in parking area which can hold up to 4000 cars that is free for the first 3 hours. Enjoy!

Via Cola di Rienzo



Located in the center in Via Cola di Rienzo

Situated in the beautiful neighborhood of Prati, Via Cola di Rienzo is one of the most famous Roman streets to shop. It is a long street that runs from Piazza del Popolo to Piazza Risorgimento and has many smaller parallel roads that are also great for non-mainstream shopping.
This street is the ideal location if you want to shop from chain stores as well as from less famous Italian and international stores, maybe to buy a pair of shoes! It is also perfect for a break due to the delicious gelaterie present in the street, the bars open for a coffee or aperitivo, and also the tasty restaurants. Via Cola di Rienzo is not too crowded and it is definitely the most Italian shopping street in the center, compared to Via del Corso which is full of international people and tourists. Of course, because it's situated in the center it will be hard to find a parking space. Enjoy!

Treja is the largest adventure park in the whole region of Lazio. It's a great place to go if you want to enjoy a nice sunny day immersed in nature with your friends and family. This regional park offers a new and exciting way to experience nature. You can either enter the park and have a nice walk or a pic-nic, or you can have some real fun and have an unforgettable experience. The park is full of adventure paths constructed with wooden platforms hanging from trees where you need skills such as equilibrium, coordination, and adventure to pass.
The staff is extremely qualified and will make sure you are safely equipped to go through the adventure path. Before starting the route, the staff will touch base with you on the guidelines and will help you practice. After you finish the adventure path, you can stop by and have a nice picnic!
Another activity that may be of interest to you is archery. The park has an archery school where you can increase your archery skills and where you can later test them through a fun route.
