The Best of Rome

Best museum: Capitoline Museum with the ancient Roman statues
Best gelato: Gelateria de Teatro (Piazza S. Simeone 22a) in the Piazza Navona neighborhood - Sage and Raspberry, yum!
Best pizza: Buffeto in Piazza Navona neighborhood
Best pasta: Gnocchi in a red sauce in a little taverna near the Castel Sant'Angelo
Best church: Tie between San Clemente(with the Mithras temple) and Santa Maria in Trastevere (with the amazing mosaics and 6th century Madonna icon)
Best fountain: The big bowl near Piazza Navona - I'm not sure why we like this so much, there is really nothing to it!
Best surprise: All the art "discoveries". The Greek bird mosaic, the 3D mosaics in Trastevere, the Botticellis in the Sistine Chapel.
Worst surprise: Mosquitos!

Mary in Santa Maria in Trastavere



Favorite Fountain - it's big enough to swim in.
