What are your thoughts on Rome? Because it is so popular were a little apprehensive about going, but I am so glad that we did! However, I can't imagine what it is like to go during the summer time when it is packed. Have you been?
I believe the month of august most Italians take their vacation and you my find some business close i have been in Rome many times my brother home at the moment is Rome i suggest that you try some restaurants of the tourist area also keep in mind some restaurant charge an extra fee for eating inside their business remember always to keep any purchase receipts when buying anything at a business some time the minister finance have undercover agents and they will ask where is your purchase receipts and if you don't have they will issue a find that is because the government want business not to cheat on their tax Rome is beautiful
I'm Italian and I'm very curious to know why turists always don't take the opportunity to visit galleria borghese, it's better than the louvre 😅
Dear American, who constantly complains, if you stop at the first pizzeria you come across, you can't complain about not seeing a romantic environment, etc.etc. if you don't look for it. You haven't understood that to get to know Rome, months or years are not enough, often not even a lifetime, to truly get to know Rome. Wake up and abandon the stereotypes you have formed.
I was there for my honeymoon and Italy was special! My favorite pizza experience was in Salerno, closer to Naples. It was exactly as you described your dream about eating your first pizza in Italy. But the food was amazing almost everywhere! Enjoy. 🥰
Ahhhhhh!!! 🙌🏼 This takes me back to 2019! My dad passed away 3 years before that (age 59) and our family was left heartbroken. It reminded me again, that life is short. So I asked my mom if there was a place in the world, anywhere, that she would want to go to, where would it be?? Rome, she said. So I gathered my 2 sisters, I planned the ENTIRE trip, we ALL pitched in & flew mom out for her 60th bday… 🥺 just us girls. It was one of THE best trips we’ve EVER done.
-p.s. We were told to NOT eat in touristic places, instead venture a little outwards and you’ll find the best authentic foods. 🤗
By far, one of your best vids for so many reasons. Your reactions, the choice of music, the genuine responses to everything, the natural smiles and easy unscripted dialogue
Awesome! Loved to see your excitement. Italy is charming and I’m so happy you guys are there😊😊😊😊The food is the best part so don’t skimp… enjoy, indulge, rejoice in every sight, sound, smells that you take in… you are making memories for life Kennons ☺️☺️☺️
The PUNS!!!! Love it! Keep em coming.
The most underrated city I haver ever been. I had been told this was an overrated city so I went with low expectations and I was truly impressed. Beautiful monuments, historic landmarks and architecture, great and affordable food and wine, the vatican, trastevere neighborhood. It is worthy just to walk the streets, magical city. ❤
Me, too. I almost didn't go because I thought it would be a disappointment. I only scheduled four days there, and was so sorry to leave. I returned the next year and spent 8 days. Now I want to go back for a few weeks and take Italian classes. It is an amazing, amazing city.
I love the excitement and kind of contentment you are feeling on your first day! I don't know, you guys, Rome looks so wonderful and you had such a great first day, will you be able to top it in the upcoming days? What was that giant thing you were eating, Greg, after you tried the cannoli?
Rome is amazing. The food- amazing. The Spanish Steps at the golden hour. They have Ave a bus that you can take around and get off and on. Take a tour to get the tour.
Great video 👍✔
You found my fav pizza spot - good going! It's nuts there!
I love Italy, that's why I visited it more than once. When I went to Rome, a travelled alone, solo woman trip, it was very safe to be there as a single woman. You have to try the Tuscany area, it's magical.
"In the next video we're going to eat as much food as we possible can," I can't wait! Rome looks beautiful and is on my bucket list also. Enjoy every minute - Anne
Rome and Florence are totally on "the bucket list." This looks like a 180 degree opposite of Old Town Vallarta LOL. We've enjoyed our two vacations there because it's SO laid back, it's almost like home.
Thanks for sharing your new experiences, folks.
Best regards,

I’m so excited for you to show us more of Rome! Every time I watch one of your videos my bucket list gets a little longer.
I think going when you guys went is the way to go. In the summer its super hot and super crowded.
I just went in October and it’s everything your saying. It was on our bucket list and we miss it and Florence too. I love Mexico and I love the US but Italy was wonderful. I think of the pizza and pasta every day… and the cannolis and the gelato and the cappuccino and…..
Rome is my favorite city on the planet. I have only been there twice, but plan to go back again and again. It is unbelievable in every way.
I just came home from Rome, Italy. & Ireland. I was blown away by the absolute beauty of the city. I stayed in an Air BnB 1 Block from the Colosseum on Via Dei SS. Quattro Street. We had a direct line of site view to it. Every night I would walk out my door and just stare at the Colosseum lit up. I still feel like it was all a dream. I’m already trying to plan my next visit.
When I went there I could spend hours watching the turn about or whatever you call it where you have taxis and horses all crossing the same paths! And we rented a car crazy!
It’s great that your exploring Italy! After watching My Brilliant Friend, I’ve been wanting to go too!
So funny my first experience in Italy (stopped at a little restaurant off the autobahn out of Switzerland & woman came in stood at the counter tapping her foot a mile a minute, ordered an espresso swung it back & took off, lol), seeing most just get a drink & panini to go & a few eating in but most quickly, (the restaurants by the see were much slower paced)
You should go to La Casa del Caffè Tazza d'Oro and try a Granita. It is right by the Pantheon. Also by the Pantheon is another great coffee place called Sant' Eustachio Il Caffè and a really good Gellateria right across from them called Gunther Gelato Italiano - Gelateria in Piazza Sant'Eustachio
Got visit campo del fiori………during the day it’s a market and nice ambiance restaurant in the evening…..must
Lol. What Americans consider a side street, an alley or a sidewalk is a major thoroughfare to Italians. Little cars everywhere. So true. But the Alfa Romeos, especially, are so cool. Great place for car spotting.
After the cannoli pun, I had high hopes for alley"güey" lol
I was there in April and just fell in love!!!
Brings back good memories
Your first pizza was at a pizzeria so very casual. If you want a sit down pizza go to a ristorante. Italians drink beer pizza usually
Hola chicos buen provecho para ustedes y que la sigan pasando muy bien y felices fiestas y feliz Navidad saludos desde Guadalajara jalisco México 🇲🇽 no los olvidamos Kinetic kennons

They don't treat tourists very well. If you happen to have studied Italian and you speak some Italian, even worse, because they think you are an asylum seeker and forget it, they treat you accordingly. They even tell you to go back to your country.
I want to see you try a pizza out of one of the vending machines😂
Big park adjacent to Borghese..bigmastiff. 15..i usedtowalk overand see the dogs .all lined up..yeah 15 mastiffs.
Rome is great, Florence is on another level. Hope you get to visit! I personally thought the pasta and pizza was so so in Italy, but that is a matter of personal preferences. I did however find the most amazing lasagna in Florence right out of the train station. A small restaurant there. I even licked the plate, if you know how crass that is for Europeans, then you will know how good it was. But overall, I loved Rome. The people, the historical attractions, etc, were all great. As you said, it's underrated. Enjoy!
i think when you come to europe as an american, travel to the different countries, learn to appreciate the culture of the countries, the history and of course the food, the perspective you get on the world when you travel back to america is a total another
I'm a big stoner who moved to rome..stayed 4 months..they're sweet people!
Hay buddy Greg and Hailry, you both forget some thing when you been in Rome, like LIVE IN ROME LIKE A ROMAN !
I loved exploring Rome by motorbike 20 years ago and yes it should be on everyone’s bucket list. I think I keep hearing you say Pisa. I may be too late in telling you that it’s a disappointment BUT the next town over, Lucca is like a mini-Rome with few tourists…it’s a very old, romantic, walled town full of great architecture, churches from medieval times and romantic squares. Plus, in general, people from the USA DON’T KNOW IT EXISTS.
On two separate trips to Tuscany, Lucca was our home base.
Back to Rome: the food is a little overrated in the touristy areas.
And the Vatican is spectacular (including the museum)
I also had funny moments where there are no toilet seats, and the bathrooms are shared (male and female)
The scenery was epic. We'd love to go to Italy. The food looked tasty but unfornately for me being GF I wouldnt be able to eat any of it. Oh well, Its not nutritious anyways.
"This is not how I imagined our first experience of pizza in Italy would go" (shows some tourist trap). Well, why go to toyristy areas then? Go do your sight-seeing, but for the pizza and other authentic experiences, go where locals go.
Rome is full of history, of course Is not overrated BUT visiting for taking photos, visiting the stereotypical and instagrameable places just visiting for "hey I was here" and not for enjoying it's totally awful. I'd love visiting Vatican for all history involved in and taking pics FOR ME to remember, after enjoying. 🖤 Atemporal places never overrated if you're there for enjoying. Enjoy guys!!!
I had $4,000 in camera equipment stolen in Rome and it’s still one of my favorite cities I’ve visited.
As an Italian I’m sorry for that, but it could have happened anywhere in the world. Italy is a super safe place especially for tourists, we have a shitty politicians, but the people are nice hahaha
Rome is my favorite city. The people, the food, the cars, the buildings, culture and history are so unique in a very good way. I hope you get the chance to visit more of Italy like Florence, Milan and Venice. I wish I had taken video when I went there and not just pictures, great excuse to go back. The entire country is unreal. Side note, I was just in Paris for the first time and I have to say I was super impressed also. I think it's to most visited city in the world and now I know why. I did upload a video on my channel in case you're interested in seeing my experience on day 1 (it's in Spanish though and my edits are not pro like yours). I'm glad you're having the opportunity to turn your bucket list into a reality at such a young age. Take care ✌🏻
I thought the pizza in Rome was good but then I went to Napoli, now I am just wrecked because I know I will never find pizza that good anywhere else.
Wait until you get to Florence...oh my. Don't eat in the squares in Rome..find restaurants down ally ways. Eat Cacio a Pepe every chance you get.
Italy is so ... Italian? LOL, best quote of the entire video hee-hee, Salute! 🥂
Same.
Have the best time in Rome,stay safe.
Did I just heard Hillary twice said ancient and not following it with the suegra joke????
Some thing is not right!!!
Looks like a little town of puebla or Guanajuato
jjajajajajaja you are insane.. im Mexican too and there is no way you can compare the great Roma with our Mexican towns..
@@shiroumxm2052 i know cuz in mexican towns every thing its better
@@shiroumxm2052 Roma was the glory of the glory 200 years a go but now mexico is the glory of the glory the mexican we are your fathers 🇲🇽🌟😎🌟🇲🇽
Coffee and cigarettes that’s sounds like Europe
And no clowns!
I prefer my Chicago thin crust pizza Amazing From Vito & Angelo's Fullerton and Monticello They actually put enough quality ingredients in the pizza
We loved Florence and Venice, Rome was a zoo.
Venice is a gimmick. Florence is probably the perfect combination of the virtues that Rome has, while also being livable and not so chaotic
the most amazing place in the world in my opinion.. I mean.. it´s Roma!! the great Empire father of our civilization!!you are so lucky yo be there walking the same places Césars did! It´s magical. Greetings from México amigos!! keep travelling and sharing with us you experiences!
Rome is my second fave city in the world only after CDMX. And although they're very different, they FEEL very similar
Rome is awesome, but also north Italy you will love it too
You need to take a train to Naples for the best pizza in the world.
You guys are always unimpressed! How about loving a place for what it is and just being happy to be wherever it is you are bc you are healthy and you have that opportunity!
Go to Florence
I've heard Italians say they love their country but it is like living in a museum.
Roman Pizza is almost a panini, definitely street food. But for classic pizza you have to go to Napoli!
Paris is overrated.
These people are verrrrry American.
I’d go to Florence first
Be very careful over there. Allot of scams and thieves.
So what from I see on this video - Rome is just mediocre. Not great, not bad. Nothing new or special. Just boring.
The excitement in your head comes from the fact that its Rome, but not from how it actually looks
*ROME* is the greatest, most beautiful and spectacular city on earth.
If rome is overrated i'm michael jackson. Lol.
Restaurants suck stick with street food..
If you go to tourist traps...
Rome is an ancient city with buildings older than the USA
Cannoli - plural
Cannolo - singular
Cannolis- non existent
Well, rome overrated no.
Vamos Argentina! !! Mexico 👎👎
Nos pos wow🤬
*ROME THE true capital of the world is never OVERRATED, Paris is OVERRATED*
In Italy we say Roma Caput Mundi
but Paris is a beautiful city and has the fame it deserves
I love you!❤❤❤

@johnshepard4141, I agree!
