Another fantastic video guys, it’s great to see another very interesting side to Rome
That Brian guy is surely brilliant!
I may not be right, but I’m going to say, Quatro-fectorre! In my best Italian accent.
Oh guys, it looks like you've had a blast. I stayed in Prati a couple of years ago with friends and we used 'The Bulldog' in the evenings for drinks and a DJ, I'd recommend if you're back that way.
Trastevere is a great spot, the wife is over there often with work (she's currently in Cancun living her best life), Freni and Frizioni is always a staple for me when I go to Rome. It was so nice to see you showing what else Rome has to offer outside of the main tourist spots, especially the Janiculum Hill, what a beautiful place to go and enjoy the views without the crowd.
If you get chance, try pasta alla zozzona, it's like carbonara, cacio pepe and amatriciana all rolled into one, it shouldn't work but it does.
And lastly, loving the longer video guys. Oh and in horse racing 4 is a superfecta, not sure if that's right though.
Omg great video !! You guys are the best !! Please keep them coming and I love the history lessons snd food recommendations . And Bologna is still one on my favorites Thanks from North Carolina!!
This is very timely and helpful! Thanks for all these excellent ideas. Adding them to my must-see list!
After countless visits to Rome proper, you both restored my faith in the eternal city. Excellent work! I'd all but written it off as a flight hub, but maybe next time we'll explore a bit more.
Terrible choices. I know far Better places than you
25:40 You’re right, it’s just not worth the queue to see St. Peter’s dome through a keyhole!!! 😁
I spent almost a week in Rome a few years ago. This fall I’m going back for a few days. Love the ideas of the more out of the way places to see. I’m staying just over the river from Trastevere so am planning to explore there. I’ve already saved several of your recs in my Google map. Oh and I really enjoy the history of the places you visit!
I went to the Keyhole last year. Drizzling out, only 6 people in front of me. Not worth it.
All the Americans, I'm American living in Europe, don't even attempt basic Italian language. So odd. Same in Istanbul, studied Turkish for 2 months only and was ok. So many American tourists.. so disliked abroad. See the graffiti, No tourists/Welcome refugees. Just got back from Rome yesterday. The quiet liquor stores/local breweries on the side streets with just the one table outside are the best. Midnight at the Trevi fountain and Spanish steps is the way to go!
