Campo De’ Fiori B&B Cappellari reviewed on top travel magazines

This luxury Rome B&B in Campo de Fiori offers quality accommodation comparable to Rome 4 star hotels. Read what our guest Maggie wrote:
“The Cappellari B&B stay could not have been nicer. The hostess, Carlina, was very welcoming and kind. She spoke excellent English and offered information about the city that we found very useful The facility is located only two blocks from Campo Fiori, which is a lively square with flower and fruit markets, as well as several Ristorante and Cafe’s.

Top Trastevere restaurants and pizzerias

Trastevere, a classic spot on the far bank of the Tiber (hence the name), has for the past decades attracted a cluster of Romans and foreigners that love walking around the little medieval alleys and enjoy the dozens of restaurants, pubs and cocktail bars spread around the neighbourhood, especially on weekends.

Trastevere is very famous for its restaurants, pubs and pizzerias. The district that never sleeps offers unique nightlife and cool lifestyle, also being a very safe area of Rome. In Trastevere there are lots of great places to eat and drink. Don’t miss those on this list! And print this post and bring it in your wallet during your next vacation in Rome.

Among the many touristy bars, there are classic spots as well as some pleasant new places. Hordes of youngsters can be found at Freni e Frizioni (Via del Politeama 4), Il Baretto’s summer garden (Via Garibaldi 27f) and amid the topsy-turvy decor of Pucci Bar (Piazza Mastai 1) for their aperitifs. One can find typical Roman pizza, thin and crunchy, at Ivo (Via S. Francesco a Ripa 158), Panattoni (Viale Trastevere 53), better known as `L’Obitorio’ (the morgue) because of its marble tables, and Dar Poeta (Vicolo del Bologna 45). There is also traditional Roman cuisine in `proper’ taverns, such as Enzo (Via dei Vascellari 29), Lucia (Via del Mattonato 2b), Paris (Piazza S.Callisto 7a), and at the refined L’Antica Pesa (Via Garibaldi 18). Via Benedetta has recently become a Mecca for real ale thanks to the pizzeria Bir&Fud (at no. 23) and the pub Ma Che Siete Venuti a Fà (no. 25), which has been voted the world’s Best Beer Bar in 2010 in a specialist magazine. Sophisticated cuisine, so much so as to place its restaurants in the city’s circle of top dining places, can be found at the Glass Hostaria (Vicolo del Cinque 58) and an aperitif bar, restaurant and food & wine shop is available at the Enoteca Ferrara (Piazza Trilussa 41). For a touch of ethnic food there is Indonesian cuisine at Bali (Via del Mattonato 29) or Indian food at Jaipur (Via S. Francesco a Ripa 56) and Japanese-fusion at Somo (Via G. Mameli 5).
