a foodie’s tour of rome

Our last foodie stop on our EuroTrip was the motherload… Rome! This city has so much to offer. I have to be honest, I was really only excited to go to Rome to eat all the cacio e pepe. I had assumed I had seen enough photos of the Coliseum & watched enough Lizzie McGuire that the rest of Rome would be unimpressive. I was SO wrong (& that is never the case lol). Every corner we turned, there would be a new historical sight to see, a cute Italian boutique to shop at, or a new gelateria to nom at. 

The first meal we had was the BEST. From then on, I was on a hunt for the next best dish. I sort of hated myself afterwards, but I kept convincing myself that it was the LAST part of our trip & I had to have all the pasta/pizza or else I fail at life. And so I did just that…

Oh & I saw some historical stuff too… I’ll leave that part to Yelp, but I leave you a few pretty pics.

And onto the food……..

what to eat:

• Lunch @ Maccheroni for pasta or even a delish salad 
• Dinner @ Taverna Dei Fori Imperiali
  • Cacio e pepe with truffle; BEST pasta we had on the trip
• Dinner @ Da Remo for pizza
  • SO good, get there early/right when it opens to avoid the crowd
• Dinner @ Cacio e Pepe in case you need more of it.. 
• Gelato @ Gelateria dei Gracchi
  • Really flavorful, like REALLY. If you get the apple flavor, you will basically be eating an apple. 
• Gelato @ Gelateria San Crispino
  • Honey and meringue flavors, try them! Don’t fall for the other gelaterias close to the Trevi- this one is the spot!
• Gelato @ Giolitti Gelateria
  • I don’t even have an explanation for this one- but it was our favorite gelato of Rome!
