Cocktails w/ Aperol
A few weeks ago at the Gran Bar Roma on Via Veneto I had a Topazio, which was described on the menu as Campari, Aperol and vodka, with a twist of orange. Shaken, served in a martini glass. It was delightful. I brought home a bottle of Aperol to try to recreate it.
Lunch near Borghese (or picnic materials)
Hello all, I have been reading Chow obsessively for three months to determine where and what we'll eat when in Rome. We have a pretty good plan, but still some gaps to fill. Now, three days before we leave, I'm having terrible computer problems that will limit my web access. So my time for researching has come to a close and I need to make some quick decisions. Still undetermined is what to do for lunch in or around the Borghese gardens. We will be touring the gallery at 9 a.m. Is there a great sandwich shop or market nearby where we can go to pick up some things to take back to the garden for a picnic? Or, since we'll have a long afternoon of touring ahead of us, is there a charming restaurant or cafe between Borghese and the Via Veneto area we should consider? Thank you!
