I had a dream…
… of Italy, and more specifically Rome. I am really happy that I have these images, cuz this was the place I was dreaming about, so I am happy to be able to share this with you.
We found this place whilst just walking around in the city, as we aimlessly did for hours. Turn here, stop there, take a left, pause, go right… you know the drill. You keep walking until you find yourself totally lost in the beauty of the city, stopping only when you find that great spot that gives you exactly what you want. This was this kind of place for us, we took a turn, ended up in an alley covered with greens. And hey, there was a restaurant.
But the place was not really open, it was about to close for a few hours between lunch and dinnertime. But without hesitation, they offered us to sit down, have a glass and stay for as long as we wanted. So they closed down and left us in this beautiful outdoor area, that we had just for ourselves, and I remember thinking that this was just magical.
I wish I could tell you the name of the restaurant, or even the path to walk to find the place, but I can’t… so if anyone of you recognizes the place, please let me know, I would love to go back there someday not just visit in a dream.
Maybe its the current state of the world, that we are not able to travel right now that sends me into dream like this. But yes, I would love to go back to Rome, its that kind of city that you are not done with. We only stayed in the city for a long weekend, and that’s simply not enough time to see the entire city, it has so much more to offer. I am betting that there are plenty more back alleys to get lost in…
So tell me, have you been to Rome?

I visited Rome many years ago and loved it. Vino and pizza in a small trattoria is a fabulous thing to do

Don’t you just love it when you have one of those spontaneous travel moments. When you get the opportunity to just sit, relax and take in the surroundings and experience the now.

I love Rome, have been there many times. Its one of my favourite cities and used to be so cheap to visit from the UK. Nothing beats their amazing food and wine.

I love when restaurants are willing to help us build memories

I’ve been Rome-adjacent. LOL. We almost got there on a trip to Europe, but we had travel issues and missed our window. =(

i was in rome in 2005 when i was doing a study aborad in europe. sadly i spent 2 of my 3 days sick with food poisoning in a hostel. i didn’t particularly like it because i thought it was over touristy.

I have never been to Rome but I hope I will some day. right now I am just praying or Italy. So when they recover I hope to be able to visit and enjoy everything they have to offer.

Italy is a fascinating destination! You find the coziest restaurants all over. I cannpt wait to return when all this is over. For now, I pray.

Was talking to my friend yesterday about where we want to go when this is all over and Rome was top of that list, though I would like to get out and visit other parts of Italy too and really soak in the flavour (and wine)

Maybe your subconciousness is telling you that soon you will be in Rome, right there in a familiar restaurant and enjoying what exactly you had in your dream. It will be deja vu, but its a good thing!

The photo with the drinks is making me thirsty! I am happy that you enjoyed this restaurant. The world has been on my mind and I hope all of these small businesses can come back.

Rome is one of my dream destinations. I love to see it before my very eyes one day. I am just saddened of the news about Italy nowadays. Hope things get better soon.
Billy Sandoval
Sounds like a great place to visit while in Rome. The images are really inviting.

Love this! I love to walk aimlessly and only want to return when it is late. Italy is a place where I felt safe walking even late at night. Rome and many other cities are on my list for this year. Let’s see how things turn out.
Jan
Yes, Rome is a beautiful city full of historical sites to visit. It has a character and even though it is crowded, visitors still love its spirit! 😊

Rome is definitely on my bucket lists. I love visiting their historical and mosaic architectures. It is really an eye sight and inviting.
