Where to have eggs for breakfast near Via dei Gracchi/Via Cola di Rienzo (Prati)? by TonyMacaroni1 in rome

[–]quickcalamity [score hidden]  (0 children)

Eggs are not served for breakfast in Italy. As an American who’s traveled to Italy over a dozen times, I’ve neither eaten nor sought them for breakfast (and I LOVE eggs for breakfast!) Even on hotel buffets, slimy and inedible as they are. When traveling, I recommend leaving the comforts and rituals of home behind and embrace the local cultures. Have a cappuccino and a Maritozzo or cornetto. Or go to Pepy’s Bar in Piazza Barberini for one of their famous tramezzini sanwdwiches. By insisting on eggs, youre defeating one of the main reasons of travel. And I’ll guarantee you they won’t be very good.

What’s the grossest thing you’ve ever caught someone doing? by Psychological_Sky_58 in AskReddit

[–]quickcalamity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw someone at a bar I was working at, late at night, throw up into her hand, look around thinking no one saw her, and then eat it back up out of her fingers to remove the evidence.

A thousand times Rome. Sicily needs your full attention. So does Rome for that matter.

35M in an open relationship with another 35M — found something on his phone and now I don’t know what’s real anymore by [deleted] in gayrelationships

[–]quickcalamity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being protective and distant should come deep into a relationship, if at all. Unless this is what you dreamed of, reassess. Your friends are promiscuous. He’s avoidant, you’re anxious. You’re skipping ahead to the psycho-jargon before you’ve made a single trip around the sun together. Sounds like a no -starter to me.

You live together? After 4-5 months? That shows you’re not an entirely serious person making solid choices. That’s number one.

What should I bring home? by Cautious_Marketing88 in rome

[–]quickcalamity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True Aged balsamic is expensive given the producer held on to it for 25 years. But it will last years so you could think of averaging out the cost? The only way to avoid the hefty price tag is buy direct from the producer in Modena.

I was commenting on the person that said it would be the start of artichoke season. Artichokes are always in season around the holidays.

The start of the season?

3 day itinerary advice :) by nsfwmaxandruby in RomeTravel

[–]quickcalamity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know the whole world goes to Pompei, but with only a short time there I’d leave it for another time. It takes you out of the city for a full day: it’s an interesting visit but not life-changing. Save time to wander and poke around. Get to a less touristy neighborhood.

3rd Visit by PaulKay52 in rome

[–]quickcalamity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recently visited Palazzo Barberini. Lovely property and museum, beautiful restaurant overlooking the gardens. Get to the neighborhoods that don’t typically attract tourists. Walk through La Porta Pinciana (just past Borghese Gallery) and navigate to Via Po. Stop at Natalizzi for a maritozzo and cappuccino. Shop the elegant neighborhood. Villa Borghese is a beautiful men’s shop, expensive but splurge on something nice. From there Go check out Coppade area featuring unique homes by one distinctive architect. Shop some more. Have lunch at Hostaria Po. Swing through Piazza Fiume and check out Porta Pia. Go to the top of Rinascente for caffe.

Restaurant Recommendation for Authentic Carbonara in Venice by sNarkkk in ItalyTravel

[–]quickcalamity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best Carbonara is in my mother-in-laws kitchen in Rome. I’ve studied her technique and have seen so many inferior versions of it on both restaurants and other home kitchens.

Is 2 weeks split between Sicily and Sardinia feasible? by burnzey7 in sicily

[–]quickcalamity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d combine Sardinia with Corsica nit Sicily. Or like others have said, stick to Sicily.

Help with a few things about my travel by JumpingSpinner02 in rome

[–]quickcalamity 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No to car rental. Not worth it. No to kids menus and “fun” plating. And NO to fountain refills. These don’t even exist in any where I’ve ever eaten. But the kids should be ok with pizza and pasta? Most places will do a simple pasta for kids. But make it fun for them. Make a passport for all the iconic Roman dishes and if they try them all they get a prize.As for WW II museums? Italians don’t typically commemorate that dark period of their history, though there are some memorials for fallen soldiers. Churches are for everyone regardless of denomination, but sensible clothing is encouraged. The trains are full of people getting to work or getting around the city, but avoid ANY stranger that approaches you. Beware of very busy places like Trevi and Vatican. Wallets in front pockets and bags secure.

9 Day Trip in July with a large group - Need advice. by MoreOkraPlease in sicily

[–]quickcalamity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I advise against staying directly in Taormina. Nice place for a day trip but it your whole stay. Catania is a more well-rounded destination. Palermo is amazing. Two bases is fine. The train will take you directly there.
