It is a journey through more than 2,500 years of history, where the ruins of the Roman Empire coexist with the art of the Renaissance, the opulence of the Baroque and a lively street culture. From the Colosseum to the Sistine Chapel, Rome is a captivating mix of art, history, gastronomy and passion.

Tips for Gastronomy

Platos que Debes Probar

The big 4 of pasta: Carbonara, Amatriciana, Cacio e Pepe and Gricia. Also, 'Supplì' (rice croquettes), 'Carciofi alla Romana' (artichokes) and Saltimbocca.

Look for the 'Trattoria'

For authentic food, look for 'Trattorias' or 'Osterias' in neighborhoods like Trastevere, Testaccio or Monti. If the menu is only in Italian, that's a good sign.

The 'Appetizer'

Between 18:00 and 21:00, many bars offer an 'aperitivo'. You pay for a drink (a little more expensive) and have access to a food buffet. It is a light and economical dinner.
