THE CUISINE OF ROME

- Roman cuisine is loved for being exceedingly flavorful, simple and

satisfying. Continuing centuries of old-school traditions, dishes in
the capital have their roots in ‘poor man’s food’ and are often
prepared using few ingredients in creative ways, constituting a
cuisine that is full of character and pays homage to the local
delicacies in the Lazio region.

to vegetable and offal stews, here is a list of food you need to try

Rome it is certainly pizza by the slice
