In Rome, a traditional forno can be part bakery, part everyday lunch stop. Go in the morning for breads and something sweet, or come back around lunch for pizza bianca, pizza rossa, pizza alla pala and other savoury baked specialties. They’re one of my favourite ways to eat simply and locally while walking through the city.

A few additional addresses I’d consider when you want proper Roman cooking rather than the usual tourist-centre menu.

These are places I’d look at when food is part of the evening itself and you don’t mind leaving the immediate Trevi area.

St Peter's Basilica: approximately 30–35 minutes on foot from the apartment, or walk to Barberini and take Metro A toward Battistini to Ottaviano, then continue on foot.

Vatican Museums: Metro A Barberini → Ottaviano, followed by a walk. For museum tickets, use the official Vatican Museums website whenever possible.

Via Santa Maria in Via 17, 00187 Roma
About 2 minutes from Trevi Fountain · currently 10:00–20:00 daily · from €3.50/day.

Via della Vite 42, 00187 Roma
Automatic lockers · currently 07:00–23:00 daily · from €2.49. Online booking recommended.

Piazza dei Santi Apostoli 56–59, 00187 Roma
Convenient for the Trevi / Via del Corso side of the neighbourhood. Check live opening hours and price when booking.

Via della Panetteria 5, 00187 Roma

Tipping in Italy is appreciated for excellent service but it is not expected at US percentages. A restaurant’s coperto is a cover charge, not a tip. Cards are widely accepted. If a card terminal or ATM asks whether to charge you in USD or EUR, choosing EUR generally lets your own card network handle the conversion instead of the merchant’s dynamic currency conversion.

Rome is best explored on foot, but watch for scooters and traffic when crossing. In crowded tourist areas and on public transport, keep your phone and wallet secure as you would in any major city. Carry a refillable bottle for the nasoni. Pharmacies are marked by a green cross; for a medical emergency call 112 or 118.

I’d go out early, while Trevi is still waking up, see the fountain before the busiest part of the day, and then simply walk. From my home, the historic centre unfolds around you — Quirinale, Via del Corso, the Spanish Steps and Pantheon are all made for discovering on foot.

Use my personal Google Maps guides as you explore. Open the dedicated guide section, choose the list you need, keep your phone’s location turned on and look at the map while you walk. That way you can see which of my saved places are already around you instead of planning your day around a rigid itinerary.

And one personal tip: don’t skip Rome’s bakeries. They’re perfect for breakfast and for picking up something simple and local as you walk. For lunch, also look out for a pizzeria al taglio — the classic Roman pizza-by-the-slice shop, where you choose the pizza you want and usually pay by weight. It’s one of the easiest and most authentically Roman quick lunches. If you love viennoiserie and specialty coffee, make time for Luna near Barberini.

I made a short video so you can see exactly how to use the washing machine.

Take your keys and phone · turn off A/C or heating · turn off the stove, kitchen appliances and lights · never leave an appliance running unattended · close the apartment door and the building entrance behind you.

Please use the bins provided inside my home. If they become full during your stay, in the courtyard you’ll find a door leading to the condominium storage room with the larger communal waste bins, where you can dispose of your rubbish.

iPhone: open this guide in Safari → tap Share → Add to Home Screen.
Android: open it in Chrome → tap the ⋮ menu → Add to Home screen or Install app.

Then you can reopen my Rome guide from your phone just like an app during your stay.

Please have the apartment ready for departure by 11:00.

Please leave both complete sets of keys on the table inside the apartment before you leave.

You do not need any keys to exit the building or condominium. Once both sets are on the table, simply leave the apartment and close the apartment door behind you as you go.

If you have any doubt before leaving, contact me rather than guessing.

I hope Rome has given you a reason to come back.

Check-out is by 11:00. Before leaving, please check your belongings, leave the home tidy, make sure appliances/A/C/heating are off and follow the key instructions provided for your stay. Need to keep exploring? I’ve listed nearby luggage storage options. Flying home? Allow generous time for Rome traffic and airport procedures.

If you’d like to stay in my home again, you can book your next visit directly through my website.
