Reply to this Hi. I spent two months working in Rome and have some suggestions for your city guide, mainly in your "Dining Out" section.
Under pizzerias, here are a few fantastic ones that are missing:
1. Da Buffeto. This is the place to go for cheap pizza in the true Italian style. It's probably the most well-known pizzeria in Rome, but not touristy at all. It's located on Via Governo Vecchio, quite close to Piazza Navona but a little hard to find. It's worth it though. Try the bruschetta, with white beans on top. Great place.
2. Pizzeria San Calisto. Located in Piazza San Calisto in Trastevere, this is how a Roman pizzeria should be: eating outside in a tiny square with old buildings, cobblestones, and locals all around. The pizzas are huge - quattro formagi and funghi are two of my favorites. Afterwards, walk over to Piazza Santa Maria in Trastevere for gelato.
3. Dar Poeta. Also located in Trastevere on a back street, this pizzeria offers some unusual combinations, but also one of the best pizzas I have ever had: a fresh buffalo mozzerella, basil, and tomato pie. It's quite amazing. Also, the pizza salmone is intriguing and very good.
And for gelato, everyone knows of the famous places, such as Giolitti's (a must-have, of course). But if you have kids or you just want a lot of gelato, there is a chain called Blue Ice. Of course, it's probably mass produced and they sometimes serve their panna (whipped cream) from a machine (which is the telltale sign of poor gelato), but I'm an American and can't tell the difference. Blue Ice gives you three flavors (three scoops), whipped cream, and a cookie, all for just 2 euro. A good bargain indeed. And do try the zabaione - it tastes like eggnog.
