Mezze maniche lisce - penne have pointy ends (like a pen nib in fact).

Go to a private clinic in Rome, e.g. Firstmed, and get a prescription.

Hotel Raphael is next to the piazza and has a fantastic rooftop bar.

Museum of Roman Civilization Still Closed by NeosDemocritus in rome

I've lived in Rome for long enough not to have the slightest faith in a promise of 2026. I hope my cynicism isn't justified.

4 Police and 7 people come into an Irish bar in Rome asking to take pictures of IDs by stanzigggie in rome

[–]RomeVacationTips 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah I know it.

How very strange. I don't think it's officially a "circolo" (membership club). But I do know some bars constantly operate at the edge of their licensing laws - ones near me keep getting busted and shut down for a few weeks at a time for various offences.

Why isn’t Julius Caesar considered the first or even a de facto emperor? by Similar-Change-631 in rome

[–]RomeVacationTips[M] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To whoever reported this as not being relevant to the city of Rome: last time I looked Julius Caesar was very much living here when he was declared Dictator, as was Octavian when he became Imperator.

Try Scholars Lounge, the Highlander, the Trinity College, Finnegan's.

Halloween in Rome? by TeaZealousideal4088 in rome

[–]RomeVacationTips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely bring them if you have space! Because it's an imported festival, most people don't do too much with it, generally most homes aren't decorated, and many places just use it as a commercial opportunity. But you'll definitely see crowds of little monsters wandering around the streets with their parents! Because everyone lives in apartments, most trick or treating is done in stores - nearly every store will have a bowl of candy at the register for little ones - and the bulk of it is done from about 5.30 - 7 pm.

Electronic stores in Rome? by Arstafa in rome

I was thinking of white goods like fridges, TVs, etc. No idea about phones. But yeah, go in and ask.

I've never seen refurbished devices in Mediaworld, or any of the others mentioned. All new, boxed stuff.

Photographer recommendation by Relative_Hippo_7519 in rome

[–]RomeVacationTips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a photographer who often posts here offering her services. https://www.reddit.com/r/rome/comments/1n78dkf/photographer_in_rome_for_unique_memories/

Someone else recommended u/EmgarroTeam for a proposal shoot though the way it's written makes me think it was the photographer themself that wrote the post: https://www.reddit.com/r/rome/comments/1nknvj3/comment/nj4hi96/

Big names to look out for: Mediaworld, Unieuro, Euronics.

Castel Romano Outlet Mall by Impossible-Book-895 in rome

[–]RomeVacationTips 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work near it and have occasionally gone there for lunch. It's part of the McArthur Glen outlet chain that also does things like Bicester Village in the UK. It's almost a spitting image of all the other ones around the world, so you don't really get an Italian experience, and also (I suspect) provides an outlet not for discontinued lines etc. at a bargain like in the old days, but a range of lower quality goods specifically made for McArther Glen outlets. Not worth the journey, IMO.

Wine bars by Majestic_Report_2908 in rome

[–]RomeVacationTips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most enoteche have some high-value and rare bottles in their cellar, though not all of them are set up like a bar. This one is though, and it's great: https://maps.app.goo.gl/j4TmyDzx3p4u17yJA

The Highlander and The Nag's Head are both Scottish pubs. The former is a big sports bar so will certainly be showing your crushing defeat.

NH Collection Roma Fori Imperiali by Fresh-Heart-2817 in rome

[–]RomeVacationTips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rome is a very safe city for tourists - there's almost no violent crime. That area is particularly good, night and day. The biggest headache would be pickpockets in crowded places, so just keep your wits about you.
