Colline Emiliane-Perfect Pasta near the Trevi Fountain

Locals and tourists love this family-run pasta spot just off the Trevi Fountain. The house specialty at Colline Emiliane is a truffle pasta made by the owner's wife and the menu, inspired by the proprietors' home region of Emilia-Romagna, will have you back again and again. The prices are a bargain (for Rome anyway!) with main courses running from 14 Euros to 18 Euros. Reservations are recommended and BE ON TIME!

    Great recipe, have to try it. I found using the Pasta n' More saves me so much time in the kitchen. I found it at www.harrietcarter.com

The monastery also has an exquisite restaurant, Il Cantico , so even if you are not staying the night, be sure to stay for dinner.

Visit the Church of Santa Susana website to find the convent that's right for you-and make sure you ask the important questions, like "Is there a curfew?" before you book!

It may seem impossible, but you could get tired of the endless array of wine in Italy. When this happens, visit Bir & Fud in Trastevere (Via Benedetta 23), a pub that serves over 100 brands of artisanal Italian beers. The "fud" is actually typical of a high-end pizzeria (delicious), but the "bir" will make you rave.

You can also purchase many of the beers at their bottega , located at Via Luca Valerio in the Marconi neighborhood south of Trastevere.
