I guess it was about a week... yes, cuisine, of course! Forget fast-food style pizza & pasta, the real thing is soooo much better. Fresh vegetables and herbs and healthy ways of preparing food (with olive oil); it's all great, whether you like meat, fish or vegetarian. |

Well, what can I tell you? People who aren't native English speakers tend to have accents ;-)
My guess would be that in and around Rome most people have some knowledge of English. You'll get used to the accent after you hear it a couple of times. |

In Rome, everyone is used to foreign tourists. On the other hand, it's a big city, so people won't be very interested in you. Outside Rome, people are extremely friendly (as you can read in the travelogue) and are glad when you visit their town/village.
If you plan to visit Italy, it's a good idea to learn a few phrases (simple things like "hello" and "goodbye", "thank you", etc.). In my experience, people are always impressed that you take the trouble to learn a few words in their language. |

The author of the article recommends dining and having drinks outside the tourist center. Trastevere is an excellent place to go for dinner, even though it's not as "authentic" as it used to be. But prices there are more moderate.
Outside Rome everything is less expensive. |
