Mok Restaurants ULTIMO MARCO Rome Suite Home restaurants Dear Guests, The following is a list of suggested restaurants that we have selected throughout the years (when we were slimmer… but we had to do big sacrifices and efforts to give you the best tips!). Because of the area in which they are located (downtown but authentic and not “tourist oriented”), the quality of the food (we have always had great meals there) and the reasonable price (15 to 30Euro each – depending on the wine you choose and how hungry you are), we feel like suggesting these places: these are not tourist traps but REAL ROMAN RESTAURANTS and PIZZERIAS where WE also go with our family and friends. S Vecchia Roma – Via Ferruccio, 12 (Esquilino, 3mins walking) The best AMATRICIANA ever! This is a typical restaurant where the house special is the Amatriciana (typical Roman pasta with tomato sauce, pork cheeks and pecorino cheese). Once ready, they throw the Amatriciana in the Pecorino cheese case where they add some pure alcohol and then they flame it up so that the cheese in the case melts in it making it soooo tasty! The pizza is very good as well and all the dishes from the Roman tradition (trippa, antipasti fritti, coda alla vaccinara, etc.) are made in the real traditional way. It is close to Santa Maria Maggiore, not far from Termini Station. Ph. +39 06 44 67 143 – www.trattoriavecchiaroma.it – Closed on Sundays and August S La Carbonara – Via Panisperna, 214 (Rione Monti, 5mins walking) There is one more famous in Campo de’ Fiori, but according to us that one is overpriced due to its “name”. The Carbonara (typical roman pasta with eggs, bacon and pecorino cheese) is superb! The restaurant is in our neighborhood since 1906 (!) and they obviously got it right. Ph. +39 06 48 25 176 – www.lacarbonara.it – Closed on Sundays S Taverna Romana - Via Madonna dei Monti, 79 (Rione Monti, 10mins walking) It has been a family owned establishment for its whole 200 glorious years. It’s a tiny restaurant with a real local atmosphere and you can have a real Roman meal in the heart of our lovely neighborhood. Just a few years ago, before his death, it was very common to meet Mario Monicelli having lunch here (he’s one of the greatest Italian movie directors who died in 2010 and who lived in our neighborhood and really loved it). Ph. +39 06 47 45 325 – Closed on Sundays and in the second half of August S Hosteria La Vacca m’briaca – Via Urbana 29/30 (Rione Monti, 5mins walking) Meaning “The drunken cow”, typical roman and Italian cuisine, this restaurant is located very close to mok’house. The atmosphere is amazing and all past dished are great (especially the Roman – Via San Martino ai Monti, 38 – 00184 Roma – [email protected] – +39 331 5919 598 Rome Suite Home specialties like Amatriciana, Carbonara and Gricia). Their portions are really generous and the price is reasonable. Their slogan is “simple dishes, abundant and tasty!”. If you want, you can get a seat outside and enjoy your meal en plein air . We also recommend the tiramisù as dessert, it’s outstanding! Finally, this restaurant is open every day from 12am to 12pm so you can enjoy a tasty Italian meal at any time. Ph. +39 06 48 90 71 18 S Alle Carrette – Via della Madonna dei Monti, 95 (Rione Monti, 10mins walking ) This pizzeria makes great Roman-style pizza cooked in the wood oven (Roman pizza is usually thin while in Naples they make it thicker). Calzone (kind of a folded pizza stuffed with various ingredients) is very good as well. We also recommend fried appetizers such as filetto di baccalà (stockfish) and supplì (rice balls). You can have a seat inside, outside or get your meal to take away. Ph. +39 06 67 92 770 - Closed on Wednesdays at lunch S La Taverna dei Fori Imperiali – Via della Madonna dei Monti, 9 (Rione Monti ) A small family owned restaurant where you can eat fabulous Roman first courses. Pasta is good in all the ways they make it but their Carbonara is outstanding! You can match your meal with a wine from their ample choice. Their second courses are great as well. We don’t recommend to have desserts here because portions are very small compared to their average price. Ph. +39 06 67 98 643 - http://www.latavernadeiforiimperiali.com/roman-cuisine.html - Closed on Tuesday and second half of August S Da Baffetto – Via del Governo Vecchio, 114 (Piazza Navona – Campo de’ Fiori) In between Campo de’ Fiori and Piazza Navona, this place probably makes the best pizza in Rome (the typical Roman pizza is thin and crunchy). Do not get scared by the line, it can be long but the place is bigger than it seems from the outside and you may get a table to share with other guests. We apologize in advance for the staff’s rudeness; unfortunately, this is very common in restaurants in Rome, so just try to consider it as part of the folklore… Ph. +39 06 68 61 617 – www.pizzeriabaffetto.it – Open every day, dinner only S Osteria St. Ana – Via della Penna, 68 (Piazza del Popolo) In 1968 Luigi and Roberto chose this 16 th Century building, once warehouse of the Borghese family, to follow their centennial family tradition. At St. Ana you will taste only special and creative dishes (like the porcini lasagna). This is our favorite seafood restaurant downtown, but don’t miss the special pasta as well as the tasty meat. They also have an interesting canteen with an excellent selection of wines at a reasonable price. It’s a lovely place to sit and talk over your Roman experiences, where you can head to after having enjoyed the breathtaking view from the Pincio terrace over Piazza del Popolo. Don’t forget to check the bathrooms and the huge candles at the entrance! Ph. +39 06 36 10 291 – www.osteriastana.it – Closed on Saturday at lunch and Sundays – Via San Martino ai Monti, 38 – 00184 Roma – [email protected] – +39 331 5919 598 Rome Suite Home S Otello alla Concordia – Via della Croce, 81 (Spanish steps) A great restaurant with a great story. In the 18 th Century it was called “Concordia” and belonged to Madame Smith, who made it a point of reference for the artists of Northern Europe. In the 19 th Century it became the center of the Carbonari secret meetings. Today it is a wonderful restaurant accessible from the beautiful courtyard with an arbor of wisteria and ivy. The restaurant offers a true and tasty Roman cuisine, like the homemade tortellini, ravioli with ricotta and spinach, etc. Despite being in one of the most expensive area in Rome (Spanish Steps), it still offers great service and real Italian food at a more than reasonable price (usually less than 30Euro each). It used to be one of Fellini’s favorite restaurants in Rome. Ph. +39 06 67 91 178 – www.ristoranteotelloallaconcordia.it – Closed on Sundays S Da Augusto – Piazza de’ Renzi, 15 (Trastevere) A historical restaurant in one of the historical neighborhood in Rome: a typical “trattoria” (one of the way we call a restaurant in Rome) of the 50’s, and its look and dishes (and prices!) are kept as they were at that time. Main characteristics: paper towel cloths, daily fresh dishes, friendly staff (sometimes) and very crowded (get there not later than 8pm if you are going for dinner: that’s the time they open and you will find people queuing already!). It is located in the heart of Trastevere, very close to Santa Maria in Trastevere, inside the tiny characteristic streets of the area. It is definitely worth having a meal at if you happen to be around and if you want to experience the typical Rome that is disappearing year after year. Ph. +39 06 58 03 798 S Il Pecorino – Via Galvani, 64 (Testaccio) Just close to Macro Art Gallery in Testaccio. You will need to take a 10mins taxi ride from mok ’house and you will need to book. Get their antipasto plate so you can taste the best artichokes ever (either “alla romana”, “alla giuda” or fried) and supplì (risotto balls, one more typical Roman dish) stuffed with mozzarella. We also recommend to try their famous pasta “alla gricia con fave” (pork cheeks and broad beans). Everything is delicious and it’s the perfect place to go if you want to dance after dinner: you are in the heart of Rome’s night life here! Ph. +39 06 57 25 05 39 – www.ristorantepecorino.it – Closed on Mondays S Eataly- Air Terminal Ostiense, Piazzale XII Ottobre 1492 (and Piazza della Repubblica, 41) This building makes us proud to be Italians! A unique place (well, there are a few around the world…) where you will find all the Italian cuisine at its best and where all the Regional peculiarities are represented. The entire building is dedicated to the Italian cuisine, wine and spumante , chocolates and pastries… everything you have always dreamt of! It is kind of a huge supermarket where each food/drink section has its own restaurant. Even though it’s out of the regular tourist route (but definitely not far and well connected: Metro B – stop at Piramide and 10mins walk), we seriously recommend a visit to Eataly as a “taste experience”. This is a proof that even Italians’ organization can be good if they make good plannings! – Via San Martino ai Monti, 38 – 00184 Roma – [email protected] – +39 331 5919 598 Rome Suite Home They recently opened one more Eataly in Piazza della Repubblica.

  • OUT of the BOX a Boutique Hotel, Intimately Connected to Its Roots in the Heart of Rome
    136 VOYAGE From Rome, Italy 137 OUT OF THE BOX A Boutique Hotel, Intimately Connected to its Roots in the Heart of Rome In Rome, a few steps from the Colosseum and the Roman Forum, the new Condominio Monti is a new boutique hotel that preserves the convivial atmosphere of its historic neighborhood, famous for its picturesque alleys and which oozes life during the day through its tiny craft shops and galleries, and by night through its trendy wineries and bars. The brainchild of entrepreneurs Kaja Osinski and Filippo Ribacchi, who helm Living Roma, Condominio Monti occupies an area of 900 square meters and has been developed within two neighboring buildings: hence the name, highlighting the intimate collective project, where attention is paid to shared spaces. Far from the aseptic standards of many major hotel chains, the new structure rewrites the concept of hospitality through 33 rooms, designed for selective travelers and design lovers, and a reception with a tailored edge. A concierge service based on the guests’ needs, offers suggestions for experiencing the Eternal City in contemporary and unconventional ways, with ad hoc illustrated itineraries at guests’ disposal in every room. The architectural and interior design, which preserves the structure of a traditional Roman house, with its bijou, but functional rooms distributed along a corridor, bears the signature of designers STUDIOTAMAT and the shades, finishes, fabrics, patterns and objects have been selected by Sabina Guidotti, founder of Bludiprussia. Photos © Condominio Monti 138 VOYAGE 139 Balanced lighting and custom-designed furnishings – from bedside tables to headboards – blend with a palette of bold colors, sophisticated wallpapers and decorative patterns that allude to the concept of "exotic", and are intended as a journey to discover “otherness”.

The Power of Images in the Age of Mussolini Abstract The year 1937 marked the bimillenary of the birth of Augustus. With characteristic pomp and vigor, Benito Mussolini undertook numerous initiatives keyed to the occasion, including the opening of the Mostra Augustea della Romanità , the restoration of the Ara Pacis , and the reconstruction of Piazza Augusto Imperatore. New excavation campaigns were inaugurated at Augustan sites throughout the peninsula, while the state issued a series of commemorative stamps and medallions focused on ancient Rome. In the same year, Mussolini inaugurated an impressive square named Forum Imperii, situated within the Foro Mussolini - known today as the Foro Italico, in celebration of the first anniversary of his Ethiopian conquest. The Forum Imperii's decorative program included large-scale black and white figural mosaics flanked by rows of marble blocks; each of these featured inscriptions boasting about key events in the regime's history. This work examines the iconography of the Forum Imperii's mosaic decorative program and situates these visual statements into a broader discourse that encompasses the panorama of images that circulated in abundance throughout Italy and its colonies.

  • The Journey to Rome
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-67871-2 — The Hills of Rome Caroline Vout Excerpt More Information 1 Introduction: the journey to Rome There is a strong and pleasant memory for hills. Kevin Lynch (1961: 173) The map I was born in a ‘city of seven hills’. Durham is one of the hilliest cities in the north of England. Yet even now I am unsure which of its contours add up to seven. It is hard to imagine any of them competing with the dramatic Cathedral peninsula, which gives the city its name (Figure 1.1). In 995 CE, when the monks of Lindisfarne on the Northumbrian coast were looking for a permanent resting place for the body of their bishop, Saint Cuthbert, he appeared to them in a vision directing them towards ‘Dunholm’ or ‘hill island’. Despite the vividness of this name (‘dun’ means ‘hill’, and ‘holm’ means ‘island’, in Anglo-Saxon), it took a milkmaid and her ‘dun cow’ to help them find their destination. Archaeological evidence points to a history of settlement in the Durham area long before the monks’ arrival. But it is at this point that the set- tlement becomes a city. When Durham acquired its seven hills is less clear. Yet knowing that there are seven is, in a sense, sufficient – safe, solid and strangely familiar. The concept underwrites Durham’s urban cre- dentials, taking us back to cities as old as Babylon and Jerusalem. As old as Rome. Small wonder that when writer DBC Pierre was describing the faded glories of Durham’s Miners’ Gala, the best-known and largest meet- ing of the mining community in England, he found it an obvious way of invoking tradition and summoning regional pride.

  • Two Must-Visit Tourist-Free Neighborhoods in Rome - Vogue
    8/1/2018 Two Must-Visit Tourist-Free Neighborhoods in Rome - Vogue LIVING > TRAVEL Two Must-Visit Tourist-Free Neighborhoods in Rome AUGUST 10, 2017 3:00 PM by MONA GABLE Photo: Alamy f i There is so much to see in the Eternal City—the history so vast, the traffic so crazy, the food so enticing—that it’s tempting to do what’s easy and stay in a well-trod neighborhood steps from the Forum or the Trevi Fountain. and legions of tourists. But then you’d be missing the flavor of Rome, with all its messiness, beauty, and surprise. For a more authentic experience, plunk down in one of Rome’s less-frequented neighborhoods and savor the local culture, and then venture out from there. https://www.vogue.com/article/rome-tourist-free-neighborhood-guide-monti-testaccio 1/5 8/1/2018 Two Must-Visit Tourist-Free Neighborhoods in Rome - Vogue A street in Monti rione in Rome f i Photo: Alamy MontiTucked in the hills above the Forum, Monti is one of Rome’s oldest and most colorful neighborhoods. And most importantly, still largely free of tourists. Centuries ago, this working-class enclave—one of Rome’s 22 neighborhoods, or rioni, was notorious for its brothels and shady characters. Today its pretty cobblestone streets are packed with young people in jeans, old men in suits, vendors selling flowers, and families who’ve lived in Monti for generations. Monti is so lovely, with its jasmine-draped, gold and apricot apartment buildings, that Woody Allen apparently filmed on a corner of Via Baccina.

  • Basilica Di Sacro Cuore Di Gesù Al Castro Pretorio (Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus at the Praetorian Barracks)
    (133/17) Basilica di Sacro Cuore di Gesù al Castro Pretorio (Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus at the Praetorian Barracks) Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus at the Praetorian Barracks is a 19th century parish and titular church, a minor basilica, at Via Marsala 42. This is in the modern rione Castel Pretorio, and very close to the front of Termini station. The dedication to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and is the Italian national shrine to the Sacred Heart. [1] History This Basilica was wanted and prioritized by two Popes: Pio IX and Leone XIII. The church was initally proposed by St John Bosco, and the foundation stone was laid in 1870. However, the annexation of Rome by the Kingdom of Italy delayed matters, and the building was finally finished in 1887. The majestic Church was built on the Esquillino Hill in Rome within the Aurelian walls. Its bell tower is the highest point in Rome. This was the first parish Church built after the capture of Rome and it became a parish in February 2, 1879. [1] [5] The design of the new edifice was by Francesco Vespignani, and he produced one of the most ornate and richly decorated of Rome's modern churches. The Basilica was consecrated on May 14, 1887 in the presence of St. John Bosco. [1] [2] [a] The church is served by the Salesians, whose founder the saint was. They run a boarding-school of arts and industries next to the church on the right side, attached to the building.

  • Sundials on the Quirinal: Astronomy and the Early Modern Garden
    Sundials on the Quirinal: Astronomy and the Early Modern Garden Denis Ribouillault Abstract This paper deals with the function and meaning of sundials in Early Modern Rome, more specifically in gardens. It concentrates on two gardens, both on the Quirinal hill and directly facing each other: the papal gardens of Monte Cavallo and the Jesuit garden of the Noviciate of Sant’Andrea del Quirinale. Set on each side of the magnificent Via Pia, these gardens represented two intersecting yet contrasting worlds, a rude juxtaposition of one cosmos clashing against another: that of a Jesuit community and that of the Papal court. Each had developed a specific language to articulate their main concerns and proclaim their truths to garden visitors. By drawing a contrasting picture of the S. Andrea garden and the Papal gardens, in which sundials were given very different meanings, the intent of this paper is to probe the awkward, contradiction-ridden, spinoso relationship between religion, science and curiosity in Early Modern Rome. In 1685, the Dutch civil engineer Cornelis Meyer devised a method to re-erect the obelisk of Augustus, which had formed part of a famous ancient sundial known as the Horologium Augusti. Published in a book on hydraulic engineering, Meyer’s method was supplemented by an entire section in which he explained how one could transform Rome’s piazze, with their obelisks and columns, into colossal sundials. He suggested that the obelisk be erected on Piazza Monte Cavallo on the Quirinal hill and that the monument be given back its ancient gnomonic function (Fig. 1). Meyer’s elaborate gnomon would determine the hours of the night through the use of the same type of pierced gnomon that would be used a century later, in 1792, when the obelisk was finally erected on Piazza D.
