Frascati

Lazio’s only high profile wine, a dry, fruity, not always perfect white from the hills south of Rome.
Galleria Comunale d’Arte Moderna

The museum covers Italian art from the late 1800s to mid-1900s.
Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna

The national modern art museum covers 19th- and 20th-century works. Strongest in Italian art, although foreigners feature too.
Gnocchi alla Romana

These tiny potato-and-flour dumplings, dense and chewy, originated in northern Italy, but Rome has since adopted them as her own – the city even has a traditional “gnocchi day” every Thursday, when they are added to most restaurant menus. Gnocchi are best served with a fresh tomato sauce, although they’re also good with a gorgonzola cheese sauce or simply with sage leaves and melted butter.
Gran Caffè Doney

One of the best spots in the world to sit under the magnolias, sip cappuccino and watch passers-by - although they’re mostly tourists now not the celebrities of old (see Cafés and Gelaterie).
Gran Caffè Roma

Located in an elegant curve of the street, with outdoor tables at the bottom of a broad staircase. A great spot to linger over your cappuccino and newspaper.
Grappa

The most powerful of Italy’s digestivi (drunk after a meal), this is quite a harsh-tasting liqueur.
Hadrian’s Temple

Eleven huge, worn columns still stand from a Temple to Hadrian built in AD 145 by his son.
Hard Rock Café

It was inevitable that this international chain would choose Via Veneto for its Roman home. Serves standard American fare.
Harry’s Bar

Noted for its clubby American style - a dry Martini, tuxedo and cigar sort of place, featuring a piano bar, a restaurant with gourmet cuisine, and a café with tables outside. Be prepared to spend lavishly.
