EATING
Rome's wealthy northern suburbs are speckled with fine restaurants, and there's a
cluster around the happening district of Ponte Milvio.
Villa Borghese & Around
SERENELLA€
(Via Salaria 70; pizza slices from €1.50; 9am-7pm; Via Salaria)
It's a bit out of the way, unless
you're walking from Villa Borghese to MACRO, but this innocuous-looking pizza
takeaway is a top pit stop. It claims to use natural yeast in its pizza bases , which might or
might not explain why the pizza
bianca
is so good - light, crispy and delicately salted.

)
sits in neoclassical splendour in a leafy corner of Villa Borghese. An elegant venue, it's at
its best on sultry summer evenings when you sit on the terrace and revel in the refined ro-
mantic atmosphere over coffee, cocktails or a full à la carte dinner.

ing coffee or claim a table on the sunny terrace for an alfresco salad or choice pasta dish.
