Ugh missing ALL the Italy food! I went pre pandemic and probably ate gelato 2x a day and it was amazing. Need to check out Rome tho!

[@heyytheresmile]

Was it easy navigating the train system? Do you recommend getting train tickets in advance? I'm going in July and nervous

[@fedes7520]

Ciao. Puoi comparare i tuoi biglietti online sul sito di Trenitalia o Italo. Sono le due società che si dividono il mercato dei treni ad alta velocità in Italia. Il loro sito è anche in inglese. Quando prenderai un qualsiasi treno in Italia devi guardare sul tabellone il numero del treno e stop. Vedi da quale binario parte il treno, sali e ti godi il viaggio. Non essere nervosa. È veramente super facile!

i only used the metro once but it was fairly easy to navigate! they also have kiosks at the subway stations where you can buy tickets so you don’t need to buy it in advance 😊
for train tickets to another city, i would try to buy those in advance at least a couple days before because it can get expensive and arrive at the station at least 30 minutes before so you can find your platform!

Can you please tell me where you stayed in Rome ? 😊

[@heyytheresmile]

i stayed at Best Western Hotel President!

[@LeMagnifiqueDoubleAgent-cj4zo]

You ate at good places, but I don’t think any Roman would consider that the best Carbonara in the city

[@heyytheresmile]

i definitely pulled these places from more touristy recs but would love any recs if you have any!!

@@heyytheresmile, It’s hard to say what is the “best” Carbonara in Roma, especially if you only spend a few days there. I live for part of the year in Roma and I can’t say definitively, but amongst the best are Roscioli, Luciano, and Romanè. Also, check out Vincenzo’s Plate- he visited some good ones.
