Rome

When in Rome – mangia, mangia, mangia! Dining in this Italian capital is an experience that’s arguably just as pleasurable as seeing the awe-inspiring ceiling of the Sistine Chapel for the first time, and, thankfully, eating and drinking well in the Eternal City is a piece of cake (or should we say pie – pizza pie, that is). Just follow the locals to the nearest caffe or pick up your own fresh produce every morning at the bustling, picturesque Campo de' Fiori market and sit down for a bite by the nearby Bernini fountain. While Northern Italy is famous for its pesto and truffles, Tuscany for its olive oil and beans, Sicily for its sweets, and the south for its seafood and spice, Roman cuisine boasts all of this and more. The most common items on local menus are bucatini all’amatriciana (pasta with a tomato, chilli, and pancetta sauce), gnocchi al sugo (potato dumplings in tomato sauce), polpette (meatballs), and vitello con patate (veal with fried potatoes). For a slice of Italy’s finest, try Pizzeria Remo, where you can sample delicious, thin-crusted margherita, capricciosa, or marinara pizza. From home-style Italian cooking in charming trattorias to innovative fare in designer restaurants, the old streets of Rome will have you savoring la dolce vita.
