A week in Rome

[beninfl]

Hi SFer's -

I'm going to Rome for a week and am looking for some recommendations on places to shop. Obviously Battistoni is on the list, but what else is can't be missed?

I'm most interested in a bespoke suit, if that's enough time. Second, would be leather goods, third would be shoes and/or shirts

I prefer to support small, local artisans whenever possible.

Thanks for the help!

I've just spent a week in Rome without popping into anything resembling a clothes shop

For when you grow tired of searching for interesting clothing stores, which are few and far between in Rome:

Pizzeria Baffetto.
Bar del Fico.
Osteria del Pegno.

If we're talking food then:
Il Pagliaccio, Per Me, Assunta Madre
Da Enzo, Armando al Pantheon,
Pizzarium Bonci, Pizzeria Da Remo, Pizzeria Nuovo Mondo, Antico Arco, Salumeria Roscioli,
Tavernaccia Da Bruno, Eggs, Trapizzino, Supplizio
Gelato - Old Bridge, Fatamorgana

I couldn't really recommend Metomorfosi - 4 hours for a 10 course tasting menu ugh. Didn't like the tiramisu at Zum or Pompi either.
