We go out today from the confines of the Maremma, to bear the impressions of an early foray into the capital, just to taste the babe his first smog.
start from that night, although you can also return the same day, thus avoiding a lot 'of stress and enjoy the trip even with a moderate price.
In our case, by booking via the internet on Booking , with only 60 € per night (double bed plus the baby), we stayed to the ' the Imperial Hotel, a 4-star hotel recently built at the GRA, between Nomentana and Tiburtina.
The hotel is worthy of the stars assigned, has large rooms, big rooms, good restaurant (according to those who tested it) and also a convenient underground car park, secure and free.
Breakfast is good, excellent coffee and homemade desserts, salty part of the review, the service is prompt and courteous, clean always evident.
The hotel is particularly recommended for those arriving by car in Rome, while for others the hotel offers shuttle service from the metro station Rebibbia, but inevitably, the movements become more complex.
Approaching the center, in the Conca d'Oro (Zone Montesacro) warmly recommend the ice cream "Conte d'Oro", which offers some of the best cream of Rome without demanding exorbitant prices of other prestigious Roman ice cream (translating with 2 € you take a large cone flavors 3): dark chocolate (without milk) on the palate is creamy and has the intense flavor of the raw material used (no substitutes and semi-finished products in this ice cream shop), also excellent pistachio fudge to chili and cream (here we use the eggs hooray !!!), while intriguing, but do not disappoint, mango, and Snowdrop lattementa.
If hunger becomes instead a little 'more consistent we move in the Alban Hills area, in Genzano, where the Osteria del Velodrome old, since my last visit, she doubled the seating in any way without scratching quality. Also open for lunch, turn on the stove even in the evening of Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and Sunday rest (common practice, alas, to most good restaurants Romans).
You start with the fresh oil in quantities that eats Lorenzo difficult to repeat, given its weak appetite, and this is already a good sign.
satisfied the Principal, the kitchen takes care of us with a tempting pasta e ceci (chickpea soup with homemade maltagliati), rigatoni with the sauce of the queue (resulting from the preparation of oxtail, flavorful meat and garden) and the equally classic tonnarelli cheese and pepper (one of the glories of the room). While Lorenzo
play in the yard with toys provided (much appreciated care, as well as the large hanger), we pass to the second where they receive praise tripe alla romana (red, flavored with mint and covered with grated Pecorino Romano), the tender beef braised in red wine and the inevitable " anchovies and endive " flat cult of tradition Jewish here really delicious. To accompany all
a tantalizing wine list based on Lazio (good choice of Frascati and Cesanese) and very good selection of regions not much valued by our partners as Abruzzo and Marche, but that offer good products at decent prices.
If you stop here (first, second and wine) 25 € each will be sufficient and well spent, but if your curiosity will go further, you can taste selections of meats and cheeses or one of the cakes offered (the tart with ricotta and sour threatened to make me surrender), but the account will still be commensurate with pleasure.
An applause, finally, to the service as well as warmth and kindness, exudes passion for what they do, rather unusual in an environment where it is often sudden.
If I have intrigued, Rome is waiting there for several years, if I did I'll try again with a future post.
