Top Five Romantic Roman Spots…

Busy week here in Rome…a Papal Retirement, Carnevale climaxing, Lent beginning tomorrow, heated political debates with the run up to the Italian election… as such Valentine’s Day has been quite overshadowed this week.

Here at RSSC we haven’t forgotton to remember San Valentino who lived out his days until he met his very unjust end, here in Rome.

Celebrate with your loved one at these romantic Roman secrets:

• 241 entrance at some of the best sights thanks to cultural event MiBACi
• Aperitivo at Sorpasso, slide onto a stool at the bar and enjoy Spritz in a jam jar
• Dinner at stylish SAID

• Wrap up for a night time stroll over Gianicolo hill finishing with a romantic snapshot in front of  the quieter Fontana dell’acqua Paola, a better view, just impressive and far more romantic than Trevi!
• Splashing out? Nightcap cocktails at the Hotel de Russie’s secret garden

Autumn Flavours Hit Supperclub

The season for fennel, orange, pasta e ceci, porcini funghi and all things that should comfort you in the winter months are back and bright on the menu. However so are the skies, incredible blue skies each day here in Rome, warm sunshine and Christmas trees looking decidedly out of place with their back drop of Romans adorned with sunglasses and shirtsleeves. We’re not complaining, we’re just enjoying the best of both….
