For lovers of Italian food, the true culinary mecca centers around the restaurants in Rome. With centuries of history to perfect everything from Alfredo and carbonara to bruschetta and saltimbocca, the delicacies can be found on every corner ristorante, trattoria, and osteria throughout the city. Of course no Roman feast would be complete without a traditional pizza, cut into squares on a delicate crispy crust.
Regular dining aside, an evening in Rome usually begins with a leisurely stroll along majestic streets before popping into a favorite haunt for the all-important ora dell’aperitivo. A cousin to the Happy Hour, the aperitivo is a casual, inexpensive way to catch up with friends or colleagues at a cool enoteca, trendy bar, or fun café. The small aperitifs are meant to stimulate the appetite, and most restaurants offer a buffet, which can often be so extensive it may even replace the need for dinner.
