Canova
An entry from Rome Holiday journal, by Amy Heaney
This was the main restaurant at Piazza del Popolo. I had walked there to see the famous fountains and was ready for some lunch, this place looked quite busy (more so than the others) so I took it as a good sign and wasn't disappointed.
Meal
A strawberry ice cream Sunday. It was truly delightful. There were fresh strawberries through the sunday with syrup, whipped cream and edible decorative wafers. When I thought I'd eaten all the strawberries I found some at the bottom! I was very happy with this!
Cost of meal:
22 Euros
Wine and beverages
Caffee americano.
Tropical juice.
Atmosphere and decor
Brown and cream decor. It wasn't posh but it was definitely smart. The atmosphere was nice and relaxed, very chilled out and welcoming. It's like your local cafe but smarter in appearance.
Dress code
Casual wear. Both tourists and locals come here to eat, however none were dressed formal.
Locality
Piazza del Popolo, full of beautiful statues, three fountains and an Egyptian obelisk. The local buildings were very grand and built in the Ancient Roman style. Everything in the vicinity was beautiful.
Service
Good service. The staff were polite and attentive. They don't mind bad Italian! The waiters were dressed in formal wear.
Other remarks
I enjoyed a bit of entertainment from the birds, they were like little sparrows or tits. They kept flying down and looking about curiously. The table in front of my ordered a bowl of crisps and the birds kept cautiously snatching them and eating them on the table in front of them. It was a brilliant photo opportunity for everyone near by.
