Hip & trendy and definitely not to be missed when in Rome, is lounge bar Salotto 42. Relaxed couches, luxurious chairs, candles and a (plasma) fire, make you feel as in a living room. Absolutely worth a visit, was also what Jessica Biel, Justin Timberlake, Eva Mendes, Tyra Banks and Lapo Elkann (amongst others) thought! Dress2impress wearing a .IT-shirt...

The beautiful and stylish restaurant Glass is situated right in the very heart of Trastevere. As the name suggests, decorations of glass are key to the interiour (you will definitely notice the glass floors). But in the end, everything is about the excellent food and the huge wine menu. Make sure to make reservations, since space is limited and we are not the only ones recommending it highly!

In Città di Castello, near Perugia, we found this gem: Vineria del Vasaio. As the name implies, excellent wines are being served. Do not hold back and let the sommelier owner pick a different wine for each course. The menu is small, but refined. The combination ensures an unforgettable diner.
