Food Scene
My favorite breakfast spot, i go almost every day to get the amazing Cappuccino that Saro, the owner of the cafe, prepares. He serves a particular brand of coffee popular in the Rome region called Danesi.
Get a Cappuccino, it is delightful. Tell Saro that Vincenzo sent you, i'm pretty sure he will take extra care.

They prepare handmade pasta everyday. The quality is even better than the average pasta you find in Italy. They price/quality ratio is very good. You can get a good pasta dish and be below 15$. The location near the house is not very big. You can go to the other location in 1919 Union St. Tell Alice, the owner, that Vincenzo sent you for extra care. If you are hungry get the lasagna: for 12$ you will get the best lasagna of the west coast.

If you feel like pizza Casaro has the best authentic Napolitan style pizza of the city. Napolitan style pizza is very thin and the crust is a bit chewy. The border of the pizza have bubbles given by the heat of the oven. They have also a good selection of Beer and Wines. Bufalina or Prosciutto plus a Menabrea beer is what i usually take. The beer is imported from Italy.
