                <description><![CDATA[It's the king of kitsch in Rome.  For all your hard-to-find knick-nacks and crazy gifts, this is the only place to go in Rome. On three floors, it's a splash of fun and colour in Rome, with a funny staff and loud music. It's open every day until 1am - kids will love it.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Rome's zoo is being gradually improved and has been renamed the Bioparco. A greater emphasis is now being placed on its ecological and environmental credentials. I visited it on a Wednesday afternoon. Apart from three Russians who asked me for directions to the exit, I was the only visitor. I think the animals were glad to see me. If you like wolves there are lots here. Very wolfish and sleek. Apart from its intrinsic merits, it's one of the few places in Rome where you can get away from the crowds.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Family run restaurant/trattoria very close to the Colosseum, excellent value and friendly staff. This is a much better choice than the restaurants that actually overlook the Colosseum and much more 'local'. Wide menu selection as well as the usual pizzas (which are very good). They also have a massive collection of games which you are welcome to play with during or after your meal - we were there for about 4 hours on a Sunday afternoon...]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[OK, so it's Sicilian and we're talking Rome, but Capricci Siciliani delivers the best baby squid in the known universe.  Fantastic seafood, excellent wine list, including many native Sicilian grape varieties, reasonably priced, and a warm and inviting staff.  Over an 8-day visit, we actually had dinner here twice, and  our 14-month-old enjoyed both the delicious bread and unending attention.  Two truly memorable meals.]]></description>
