Visiting Rome is a delight for all senses. Beautiful views, vibrant music, impressive ancient architecture… the possibilities never end in the Italian capital. In the same way, the best you can do is stimulate your palate with some classic Italian cuisine dishes that are available, of course, in some of the most known restaurants and bars in the city. Like in all big cities, the cost of your food will depend partly on the amount of money that you have. However, don’t doubt in trying some food in an old market, on the streets, in cafés or in unconventional restaurants. Exploring and travelling consist in trying everything and doing so everywhere, at a price that’s convenient for you. Not always the most exclusive restaurants are the best and, in Rome, the quality of the food is maintained at the price that goes best with your budget.

In Rome you’ll find plenty of trattorias and pizzerias, as well as alternative and vegetarian restaurants. Roman food is popular and simple; as you already known, in Italy you eat a pizza like you eat a piece of bread. However, each place has its own character and preparation secrets, which makes the Roman gastronomical experience into something pretty unique. The essential thing about Roman food is that it’s made with fresh products, high quality vegetables with a traditional and modern touch, vegetable oils and fresh meat. Some entrées like zucchini are basic to start a good meal. The variety of pasta that you’ll find is infinite. And there are good desserts for every holiday and excellent coffee.

Some of the basic dishes that you have to try in Rome can be Fiori di Zucca, a base of zucchini flowers with mozzarella and anchovies submerged in oil to create a brilliant combination. The cod fillets are also part of the tapas that you can find and you can accompany that with a fresh beer; pieces of cod cut delicately and fried in oil, leaving them with a crunchy and salty texture are the perfect complement for a moment of relax in a bar or a café after a long walk.

The pasta carbonara is another of the dishes that, despite the simplicity of its preparation and low cost of the ingredients, it satisfies everyone’s appetite. Made with pasta, eggs, cheese and pancetta, this dish can be a light lunch or a captivating dinner accompanied by an exquisite seasonal wine. Pizza alla Romana is another classic, as its name confirms: a layer of dough in the oven dosed with warm spices served with a bit of olive oil is a snack that accompanies all drinks and that you can share in any street of Rome while you’re looking for your new destination. A delicious cappuccino can complete your lunch or dinner, as well as starting your day in the Italian capital.
