This is in hipster Monti, and it doesn't disappoint. Locally sourced food with an extra zing – like three types of pepper on the cacio e pepe pasta – it also does take-out pasta (or freshly rolled, if you're staying in an apartment). Reservations recommended.

Palazzo Merulana houses a collection composed mainly of works of the Roman school and the Italian twentieth century, but with a momentum towards the contemporary.
The exhibition path which includes more than 90 works, on a surface of 1800 square meters, is divided into four floors.
Palazzo Merulana welcomes its visitors in a porch too, free of charge, with a bookshop and a cafè to enjoy a pleasant break between different sculptures by Antonietta Raphael, Lucio Fontana, Pericle Fazzini, Giuseppe Penone, and many other artists.
In a free and relaxed mood, guests could enact a peculiar and unconventional intimacy with the artworks. The peaceful atmosphere is conveyed also by the lovely urban garden, far from the daily hustle and bustle of Via Merulana.

Esquilino much more than you may think
Quite recently one of my guests commented that the Apartments were wonderfull but the quarter was drab ! While Esquilino may not be compared with the Old Center of the city it would be a mistake to consider it drab as it has much to offer as I hope to be able to convey this idea with the selection I have put together
