RISTORANTE MONUMENTO€€
( 06 565 00 21; Piazza Umberto I 8; meals €25; lunch & dinner Tue-Sun)
Close to the ruins, this has a
history stretching back to the 19th century, when it used to serve the men working on re-
claiming the local marshlands. It specialises in homemade pasta and fish and has a tradi-
tional interior decked with vintage black-and-white photos.

Tivoli
Explore
For millennia, the hilltop town of Tivoli has been a summer escape for rich Romans, as
amply demonstrated by its two historic hedonistic playgrounds, both Unesco World Herit-
age sites. Villa Adriana was the mammoth country estate of the emperor Hadrian, and the
16th-century Villa d'Este is a wonder of the High Renaissance. You can visit both in a day,
though you'll have to start early.
