Today, the Eternal City receives a special guest: no one else, namely the President of the United States of America, decided to pay a business visit to the Italian capital. The head of one of the most powerful states in the world will visit the Colosseum, meet with Pope Francis, Prime Minister Matteo Renzi and President Giorgio Napolitano. We picked up ten places in Rome, where Barack Obama does not look, but which are still saturated with the American spirit.
Bakery house
While Italians are used to being content with a small cup of coffee and a breakfast roll, Americans are ready to turn the first meal of the day into a real feast. The owner of the Bakery House bakery promises all visitors a “perfect American style,” which includes attributes such as bacon and baguette.

Antico caffe della pace
This cafe, located in the center of Rome, has been invariably attracting American celebrities for decades. According to the tabloid The Hollywood Reporter, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, actor Leonardo di Caprio and the incomparable Madonna were spotted here not so long ago. This place has been visited by Grace Kelly herself more than once. But if you want to look at the stars personally, you better hurry up: there are rumors that the cafes are going to close.

Hamburgeseria
They can be real experts in the preparation of pizza, but Italians cannot boast of their knowledge of burgers ... Hamburgeseria, which is considered the "first burger bar in Rome", opened its doors to visitors in 2012 and invited a chef from New York. Since then, the cafe has flourished: the real American atmosphere perfectly complements the menu, which is replete with cocktails, and the sounds of incendiary salsa.

Sports at Sloppy Sam's
This place is just a haven for sports fans, from hockey to baseball. The American bar works despite the significant time difference between the two continents. Its doors are open from 8:00 to 3:00, but there are always a lot of visitors. Sports spirit, excellent food and a sea of beer attract many sports fans.

Cinema America Occupato (American Occupied Cinema)
