Milan
Rome
Da Puccini
€€
€€
(
5 Via San Giovanni sul Muro,
+39 2805 3939
) Word has got around about the warm
welcome, impeccable service and delicious homemade
pizza and pasta at this traditional eatery. As a result it’s
often full by 8pm, so get there early.
Joia
€€€€
(
18 Via Panfilo Castaldi, +39 229 522 124)
This
upmarket venue claims to be the only Michelin-starred
veggie restaurant in Europe. Chef Pietro Leemann draws
on Asian fusion techniques, and even Buddhist thinking to
conjure up some wild culinary creations.
Bar Basso
(
39 Via Plinio, +39 229 400 580
) Bar Basso
epitomises
La Dolce Vita
(the sweet life) of 1960s Milan.
It’s a great place to sample the city’s favourite cocktail,
Negroni sbagliato
(wrong Negroni), made with Martini
Rosso, Campari and sparkling wine. Delicious.
Far from a dusty collection of glass cases, Milan’s
intriguing
Archaeological Museum
vividly takes
visitors back 2,000 years and more to the city’s earliest
origins. A must for history hounds.

Vecchia Locanda
€€
€€
(
2 Vicolo Sinibaldi +39 668 802
831
) An intimate restaurant with a slightly rustic feel and
very chatty, welcoming owner. Try their baby squid with
cherry tomatoes, or homemade pasta with bacon, brie
and truffles.
Lisca
€€€
€
(
62-64 Via Guglielmo Calderini,
+39 6324 4262
) Lisca may be Italian-owned, but it serves
some of the best Japanese food in Rome. As well as sushi
and sashimi, you can also order some Italian dishes such
as spaghetti with anchovies and pecorino cheese.
Big Mama
(18 Vicolo San Francesco a Ripa, +39 6581
2551) Rome’s best-loved jazz and blues club is housed
in a cramped, thoroughly authentic venue in the trendy
Trastevere district. It hosts a mix of upcoming and
established local and international performers.
Bracciano
Just 25 miles north of the city, this small but
unusually cosmopolitan town sits on the lip of a massive
volcanic lake. Its main squares are dotted with cafés and
some great restaurants.
