Where to Eat:
There are bountiful places to dine while in Rome, with views that are nothing short of
majestic and romantic. Once of the best ways to experience dining in Rome is to go explor-
ing and try things for yourself rather than relying on guides telling you which restaurants
to visit. This is because those types of restaurants tend to cater to tourists and can be over-
priced with low quality food. Many of the best restaurants are actually located away from
the historical center. That's why it's good to get out and explore your options. Who knows,
you may find an out of the way pizza place with the best pizza you've ever tasted! And
speaking of pizza, Roman pizza is typically made with a very thin crust and has fewer top-
pings than say, a more traditional pizza you'll find in Naples.
You're sure to find a delicious variety of food choices during your stay in Rome, including
those travelers who may be vegetarian or vegan. But don't worry meat eaters, there will be
plenty of meat dishes for you to indulge in too. Artichokes, olives, and anchovies tend to

to search out some homemade gelato when you're looking to curb that sweet tooth craving
as well.
