Neighborhood: Ostiense
Grazie a tutti gli Yelpers italani anche se non capisco bene l'italiano ancora. Questa era la prima volta che mangiavo con un gruppo italiano cosi' grande e mi sono molto divertito (anche se non ho parlato tanto).
La cena era buonissima, il servizio molto gentile. Mi e' piaciuto molto.
Grazie Vale e grazie Yelp Rome!

Neighborhoods: Balduina/Montemario, Prati
I know you're supposed to eat your way through Rome. I know that everyone says you must try the pasta and the gelato and the pastries. But for me, the star has always been pizza.
I love pizza.
I love love love pizza.
So, as a person that loves pizza, I naturally love bread star Gabriele Bonci's Pizzarium, a landmark pizza joint serving pizza al taglio made with the freshest ingredients, the best methods and using the most random assortment of toppings.
I had a pizza with prosciutto and yellow bits of salted fish. Delicious.
They also have a foie gras variety, though I'm sure it costs a lot more.
So, in conclusion, I love pizza and therefore, based on mathematical principles, I love Pizzarium.

Adoro questo posto!!!!!
It's funny how styles of drinking can be a habit. Take, for example, Rome, where aperitivi and wine bars are in vogue. Coming from America, I just wanted a dirty little spot where I could order a whiskey to wash away my problems, like a derelict or some insane fellow... because that's how we roll in the States, right?
Oh, how I longed for a proper pub experience while in Rome. This is it. Friendly staff, a comfortable lounge (suitable for solo drinking as well), and PINTS. PINTS PINTS PINTS. Irish beer on tap are plentiful here, as are hard liquors in bottles. It's the oldest Irish-run pub in Rome! Gino, one of the owners, is a friendly, older fellow who really knows how to treat people well. I love getting great service, and I felt wholly satisfied patronizing this place.
Give them your business because they really deserve it.

Located in the northern corner of Campo de' Fiori, Aristocampo sells big and tasty panini, perfect for taking along with you. However, the woman I ordered from was extremely rude. After I ordered, she asked something I couldn't make out, something I assumed was a query on what else I wanted inside the sandwich. Since I didn't know what the options were, I just replied with "everything," at which she rolled her eyes and walked away. Maybe that was a dumb American answer. Regardless, she wasn't very nice at all and the awkward experience totally ruined my evening.
Thankfully, I am in Rome, and just looking at the piazze puts me at peace (mentally, at least, as the fatty porchetta continued to plague my body into the night).
Ho ordinato un panino con porchetta (troppo pesante). La cassiera era molto maleducata. Se non vuole che io torni qua, brava. L'ha fatto bene. Non tornero' mai.

Giolitti

Neighborhood: Centro Storico
I'm not the type to go crazy over gelato. I mean, I love it. It's just not something I obsess over like pizza or perfectly symmetrical building plans. That said, Giolitti is a fun place to get great gelato artigianale with the rest of the known universe. Yes, everyone is coming here, and for good reason. The gelato is superb; it's flavorful but not too creamy (I don't like how creaminess covers up flavors and weighs me down).
The experience is even better. First pay for what you want, then stand in line to select your flavors. It moves fairly quickly, and the service behind the counter is fun and friendly. I highly recommend a stop at Giolitti.
(And if you're wondering, I went straight to Il Gelato di San Crispino right after, and I think I prefer Giolitti for both service, experience and flavor.)

I suppose this is my neighborhood gelateria. Walking by, it's hard to miss, as you'll see plenty of Romani standing about with cones or cups. The flavors are good (I got a small cup of the stracciatella and the zabaione for 2€), but it's the service that I really loved. The guy was so friendly, proving that all ice cream should be served with a smile. Because if you're not smiling in an ice cream shop, you may as well be dead.

Yelp's Open House Elite Event @ Hotel Diva
Category:
Local Flavor
Neighborhoods: Union Square, Civic Center/Tenderloin
I'm not a diva. To be honest, I don't have the energy for it. Also, I'm a dude, though I don't think that disqualifies you from being a "diva" in this city, even if the correct word would be "divo."
It's all very complicated.
What's not complicated was the flow of the Hotel Diva Elite Event, with wine free-flowing in various rooms, local sweets and great music blasting throughout. It was a nice chance to check out a really beautiful and hip boutique hotel I had passed often but knew little about.
Highlights included chatting about northern Italian wine with Anais Galvin from Farm+Cellar, while her beautiful videos played in the background, as well as sampling the amazing cabernet from REMRIDG Wines. We really appreciated the time Jeff spent in telling us his story (go Aggies!).
Finally, who can deny the bed covered with Hey, Cookie! treats. Delicious. It's the stuff dreams are made of and I'll likely be craving them soon.
We'll miss you, Ruggy! Thanks for one last great event.

Enoteca Vino Nostro
Category:
Beer, Wine & Spirits
Neighborhood: Pacific Heights
I love red wine.
The color, like blood or love (because love is red, you see), dark and rich. The way it stands up to even the sloppiest of steaks, or alone, when you have just that for dinner.
Don't judge.
Yes, I love red wine. And I love a real wine shop. When I saw that Enoteca Vino Nostro opened near my place, I was intrigued. But it wasn't until I stepped inside and spoke with Parissima and Hannah that I realized how amazing the store really is. I had assumed it was an expensive shop, judging it by its pristine cover. Little did I know that many of their wines start around or under $10. They're all straight from vineyards in Italy, and all their selections are sourced directly with no middleman to muck up the deal.
I love red wine and Enoteca Vino Nostro sells amazing red wine. Based on mathematical principles set forth by the nerdiest scienticians of history, it's simple to conclude that I therefore love Enoteca Vino Nostro.

Ashkenaz Music and Dance Community Center
Categories:

I love a good old-fashioned orgy, sweaty bodies gyrating to the natural beats of rhythmic music, torsos spinning and feet thumping on the ground...
And by "old-fashioned orgy," I mean a "really great dance celebration with lots of people." Just to be clear, the environment and clientele are entirely wholesome, fun and respectable. The Afro-jazz band playing that night filled the stage, and the dancers spread across the floor. And, my, what dancers they were, as some took to the space like spiders spinning up the wall. Moves, my friends.
There's a bit of beer here, though not much. Just enough to loosen the joints. It's really as simple as this: a big warehouse of a room with plenty of space to move.
So if you wanted to know where to have an orgy in the Bay Area (deal with those keywords, Google), Ashkenaz is your place.

Current CrushThat's just common sense.
The two things I love most about this place are the service and the live music. Simone, in particular, is an incredibly friendly bartender, and always seems to have a smile on his face. The jazz trio is a bunch of fun, even playing the theme to Super Mario Bros. during my last visit.
They offer a full bar and a list of wines by the glass starting from 4€ (I did not like the 4€ wine, but the others were tasty). I'm not sure how much cocktails cost, and I don't want to know the price for food. Stick to wine if you're on a budget and it's an affordable option near Piazza Barberini.
