Said, on Via Tiburtina 135 makes a great first impression with glowing bold letters tucked behind the main street. Going since 1923, this is what Charlie had in mind for his factory. The tiny triumphs of artisan chocolate and deserts on display look almost too good to eat. It’s a multidisciplinary space, with chocolate shop and bistro combined that seem to go on forever. In the sophisticated sectioned dining area they offer contemporary dishes with friendly staff, perfect for a treat with lots of inspiration from their star ingredient: cocoa. My new favourite cocktail is their ‘Grasshopper’ with minty dark chocolate, which I tried with their Aperitivo plate for €12.

astificio San Lorenzo on Via degli Ausoni, 7 is an impressive sprawling creative complex. An ex-traditional pasta factory has been transformed into an artistic multi-floor initiative with design workshops, event spaces, photography studios and a chic eatery with cosmopolitan menu. The restaurant reminds me of an elegant old-time dance hall, with a minimalist bar area for Aperitivo (a tasteful plate of novel nibbles and wine for €10) and open dining space. Quality is key here so this place is great for a splurge, with select ingredients meant to rediscover traditional methods in innovative ways.

Sightseeing
The Minor Basilica of Saint Lawrence Outside the Walls is one of Rome’s oldest churches and houses the relics not only of Saint Lawrence but also of Saint Justin and Saint Stephen.
It is one of the seven station churches of Rome. If all are visited by a pilgrim, then you are granted a plenary indulgence. The origins of this church come from the Emperor Constantine, who built an oratory here in honor of the site where it was assumed that Saint Lawrence was martyred. Later, in the 6th Century a church was built here. Even later, in the 12th Century, another Church was built. The Basilica is of the simpler style of the earlier Christian churches, which makes it somewhat unique among Roman Basi
