My impressions of Rome

Wonderful fried zucchini blossoms at Piperno

Fantastic Italian sparkling wine: Giulio Ferrari Riserva del Fondatore. Available by the glass at Enoteca Al Parlamento in the Via Dei Prefetti

Hidden gem: The magnificent portrait of Pope Innocent X by Velasquez in Galleria Doria Pamphili

Mozzarella di Bufala to die for at Obika (try the softest one served in a bowl)

Great deal: National Museum of Rome. 9 Euro buys you entry for all 4 museum sites in the city and is valid for 3 days. Don't miss any of them even the hard to find Crypta Balbi
