What’s it like going to a fashion week party in Rome thrown by one of the great Italian designers? I was able to peek into this world recently after attending Bulgari’s New Curiosity Shop party at an exclusive villa on Rome’s Via Giulia, one of the smartest districts in town.

The British Ambassador to Italy’s private residence, Villa Wolkonsky, hosted a simply unforgettable reception on January 24th 2017 to mark the 125th anniversary of Babington’s Tea Rooms in Rome.

Va.Do al Pigneto is a great value restaurant in Rome’s Pigneto district serving creative Italian cuisine. Pigneto is one of my favourite going out districts in Rome for good reason. This slightly down-at-heel neighbourhood, east of Termini and tucked behind the great concrete boulevard La Prenestina, is a compelling mix of turn-of-the-century single story villas…
Trying to find the best steakhouse in Rome isn’t easy. While high quality cuts of meat feature on a vast amount of trattoria menus across the city, there haven’t been many great go-to places just for meat lovers. Apart from a few chain steakhouse options, up until now, you’ve have basically needed to stick to…
