City Guide: Rome
Rome
Benvenuto a Roma. There are more than 15,000 places to eat and drink in the Eternal City and we have taste-tested enough to know the best of the best—both high and low. Most importantly, we’ve done the heavy lifting on where to find the very best gelato. One piece of advice: Don’t leave Rome without taking a food tour through Trastevere, cooking with a real life nonna, and spending time wandering the Mercato di Testaccio.
Buon appetito!
