Cibando

Imagine sitting on a balcony carefully decorated with plants and flowers, overlooking a lake, and sipping Bellini while the musician plays Moonlight Sonata. Antico Ristorante Pagnanelli will give you just that, a plate full of wonders. 

This restaurant is the number one choice for any special occasion. For many, it's been the ideal spot for a wedding proposal! 

Ecco su cosa abbiamo lavorato oggi. Non è ancora finito. Entro questa settimana sicuramente. Ecco l'evoluzione:

When in Rome during the World Cup, it won't be difficult to find a place to eat and to watch the matches. Most restaurants, trattorias, bars, and pubs will have big screen TVs. You can even enjoy a 3D experience at The Space Cinema, and various other cinemas throughout Italy.

Hard Rock Cafe' is definitely one of the best choices for a festive atmosphere and great food. To book a table, you must choose the Football Menu (€29 per person). There is also an aperitif menu for all games shown at 4pm. Another similar American-style restaurant is The Perfect Bun, where there isn't a special menu and you can reserve a table by just calling in advance. Scholars Lounge, possibly the most famous sports pub in Rome, will show every match on their 8 giant screens.

Join 20,000 fans at the International FIFA Fan Fest at Piazza di Siena in Villa Borghese park. The atmosphere is remarkable: interactive games for children, African dance shows, and cheering your heart out for the team you love.

Buon appetito and Forza Italia!

The pizza at La Boccaccia is probably the best I've ever eaten. La Boccaccia is really a hole in one of Trastevere's oldest walls. It's a tiny place with about 10 stools inside and a bench outside. The place is, of course, always packed, so most people get a slice to go. It's a Pizza al Taglio place, which means you choose the types of pizza you want, they'll cut you a slice, and you pay by the weight. On average, it's about €3-4 per person. A great price for a great meal.

When you do go there, don't be safe and choose Pizza Margherita--although even that is delicious. No, try something different. Some of the choices are ricotta cheese with sausage, zucchini with pesto sauce, pumpkin, eggplant, prosciutto and mozzarella, salami, potato, tuna, and the list goes on. It blew my mind when I saw Pizza alla Carbonara. They make that rarely, but it's quite oddly delicious.

Every time I go there, I try something new. I haven't been disappointed yet.

We at Cibando love Japanese food. Going to eat sushi has become a weekly ritual. So when we came across CityDeal and saw that a two-hour sushi course was offered with a 70% discount, we didn't think twice. That's the thing about CityDeal, it delivers dreams at unbelievable prices.

The sushi course in a small studio kitchen in Ostiense (Rome), perfect for a cooking lesson for 8 students. The instructor, Roberto Rossi, began the lesson by giving a brief history of sushi and the names of the culinary used in the making. He carefully explained how to cook rice, as if it were a work of art. Understandably for foreigners, it is. Because it was an introductory lesson, we only learned how to make Hosomaki and Futomaki, possibly the simplest kinds of rolls.

Of course, to perfect in making sushi, it takes more than one lesson. That's why this organization, called Foodbook, has a series of follow-up lessons, each deal with different kinds of sushi. To view their lesson plans and website, click here.

It was definitely a fun experience, and it made us love sushi even more.

The ageless Italian beauty icon once claimed, "Everything you see I owe to spaghetti." Sophia Loren would love Spaghetteria L'Archetto.

Spaghetteria L'Archetto is a few blocks from the Trevi Fountain, in one of Rome's narrow cobblestone streets. Spaghetteria is a restaurant that is specialized in, as the name says it, spaghetti. In fact, L'Archetto is famous for spaghetti alla-100-toppings-to-choose-from.

A plate of spaghetti costs about €8 and a second course about €12. These prices are actually very decent, considering it is near Rome's tourist attractions. It is a tiny restaurant where you can sit outside or go downstairs into what seems like a wine cellar. L'Archetto is filled with locals, which says a lot about how good the food is.

The restaurant is open every day at 7pm, but gets filled up very fast, even on weekdays. I guarantee that you will want to keep going back to try the most you can out of the endless menu.

Qualche mese fa quando abbiamo cominciato con il progetto Cibando, mi sono detto: "Grazie all'alto tasso della disoccupazione, non dovrebbe essere molto difficile trovare persone in gamba per creare la nostra rete vendita/consulenti". Quanto mi sono sbagliato!

Romans have been depressed for months. It was a winter of rain, and spring stopped by barely unnoticed. It hasn't been the Rome that we knew and loved... until this weekend. The sun shone, the sky was clear, and the whole city migrated to the beach. Luckily, there are places like "La Marinella" where people can sit on a terrace, enjoy the scenic view, and taste exquisite cucina marinara (seafood).

La Marinella, though opened all year round, should only be experienced in the summer when you can sit outside. Do reserve a table, since the place is extremely popular for birthday parties, communion lunches, family outings and romantic dates. There are a variety of mouth-watering dishes to choose from. Even the most simple Spaghetti alle Vongole Veraci is a must-try.

La Marinella has a restaurant and is also a beach resort. So after a heavy lunch with soothing white wine, there is nothing more suitable to do than to walk a few steps down to the beach for an afternoon nap. This is precisely why locals look forward to summer the most.

The restaurant is located in Ostia beach, 25km from Rome, and can be easily reached by car or public transportation. For more information, visit www.lamarinella.com

Whether you wish to be classic, be light, be simple, be happy, be sweet, be cool, be friendly or be romantic, you would love GiNa at Piazza di Spagna. But be careful, many dishes are rather overpriced.

For the traditionalists, GiNa suggests the "be classic" portion of the menu (consisting of bruschette, soup, and pasta). "Be light" are for salad lovers, and "be simple" calls for a selection of sandwiches. Milkshakes and other beverages can be found under "be happy", and if you want to "be sweet", don't miss a chance on ordering desserts. Even though a voluptuous American chocolate cake is as good as it sounds, €7,50 a slice does make it more difficult to swallow. You can even drop by Gina just for coffee after a shopping afternoon with your friends; hence, "be friendly".

"Be romantic" on special occasions and have a picnic with a special someone in Rome's most beautiful park, Villa Borghese. For €40, GiNA will provide you with a picnic basket, consisting of two sandwiches of your choice, two fruit cups, desserts, water, and coffee.

What I really love about this place is its atmosphere: the white walls, white decor, white daisies, and white cushions. It's like floating on a(n expensive) cloud on a sunny day. When and if in Rome, make time to treat yourself to an afternoon at GiNa.
