Rome food and drink
As Italy's capital, you can expect Rome's food and drinks scene to have delicious and authentic fare everywhere you look.
Start your mornings by downing an espresso and pastry while standing at a coffee bar. Then sample the local produce in food markets. Alternatively, grab your choice of pizza by the slice between sightseeing destinations. At night, enjoy a lingering late dinner in a restaurant by a piazza and watch revellers pass by.
Finally, you can drink some Italian wine and dance at one of Rome's bars before crawling into bed and living la dolce vita again the next day.
