After a quarter of a century I broke that policy with Dim Sun in Rome and I was pleasantly surprised. The sun sun was serviceable. Good tastes. Nothing off-putting at all. And the nice atmosphere, great service, and air conditioning on a brutally hot summer day didn't hurt either. An enjoyable experience all around. Hit it up when you need that small lunch to tide you over until your late dinner of carbonara or cacio e pepe.

How can you not try a place named Dim Sum in Rome? After we toured the Vatican and worked up an…read moreappetite, we decided to try Dim Sum for lunch. It was a relatively easy walk from the Vatican. Their dim sum menu wasn't too extensive as compared to dim sum restaurants in Chicago, London, SFC, NYC, Toronto, etc. We tried a couple of dim sum items, beef chow fun and hot & sour soup. The soup was really good. The beef chow fun and dim sum wasn't bad although not the same level as most big cities that have Chinatowns. I would say for Rome it's good given there isn't a huge Chinese population. If you need your dim sum or Chinese food fix, this isn't a bad choice.

My family and I ate strictly pizza and pasta for the first three days we were in Rome. Frankly, we…read morewere tired of al dente pasta and meatless pizza. And I've been taking heat for my opinion about authentic Italian food but I don't care. My palate is my palate. Italian pasta is bland and not rich enough - to me. So when we found Bao Bao, I was excited. Finally some sriracha and chili oil. We got ramen and dumpling soup and soup dumplings and pork dumplings and har gao. And to be completely honest, the food was average to the standards set forth by the Chinese here in the states. But boy was it tasty to us. We came again a few nights later. The service here is fantastic. They're super nice and they even squeezed us in before a reservation that had called dibs on the table we sat at. The dining area is quaint but pretty modern. Dinner starts at 1900 hours and they accept reservations like I stated earlier. So when you get tired of the pasta, stop by and give your tummy some decent flavor.

After several days indulging in the wonderful pasta and pizza of Italy, sometimes you just need a…read morebreak. We found ourselves intensely craving Chinese comfort food and discovered Bao Bao Dumpling in Rome--and it proved to be a highly decent and satisfying detour. Bao Bao shines brightest when it comes to its signature dumplings. The Xiao Long Bao (XLB) is very decent, providing that savory broth and satisfying wrapper texture you look for. A great feature of the restaurant is the visible preparation area; you can actually watch someone hand-making the dumplings fresh in the front window, which speaks volumes about their commitment to quality. Beyond the XLB, the Fried Bao is also a delicious and worthwhile order. It offers an excellent contrast in texture and flavor to the steamed varieties. While the dumplings were excellent, the experience was slightly less remarkable in other areas. I was craving a hot bowl of noodle soup, but I wouldn't rate their noodle soup as the best. It's serviceable, but perhaps not their specialty. If you are in Rome and need a break from traditional Italian fare, Bao Bao Dumpling is a solid, reliable choice. It serves genuinely decent Chinese food, especially the fresh dumplings, making it a highly recommended spot when that dumpling craving hits!

Plus, it was a 1 min walk from our hotel, so--score. It was rather empty inside, but no worries, the food was still fantastic. We shared vegetable fried rice, vegetable noodles, avocado rolls, vegetable dim sum and spring rolls. Pretty much anything vegetarian on the menu. It was all flavourful and fresh. The texture of the rice was my favorite, slightly sticky with a slight crisp to it. Service was lacking as our server was attending to the entire restaurant and was visibly flustered. But other than that, excellent food and ambiance.

The Malaysian in me always looks for a Malaysian restaurant when I'm traveling. I was so so happy when I stumbled upon this. Needless to say, I had to give it a try. The restaurant was accessible by train (Circo Massimo is the station), it was 6 stations away from or hotel with an interchange in between. Walked in as they opened and they asked us if we had reservations. I was like I don't but that's a sign they're doing good at what they do. We were seated anyway but I did see how it started getting busier not looking after. I ordered some chicken spring roll, kuey tiow, nasi goreng Malaysia and fish in Tamarind sauce (pretty spicy so watch out!). I was in love! Everything was so delicious and tasted just like home. The owners and chef were Malaysians so it is as authentic as it can get! They showed extra attention to us once they learnt I was a Malaysian origin. Meeting one of your own abroad always unites us strangers in ways I can't explain. A must try if you're closeby. I wished I had this option where I lived. Left a piece of my heart here. Only disappointment, they didn't serve the Malaysian signature drink teh tarik. Otherwise, would've been PERFECT!
