Tour

Roman cuisine offers hearty, colorful dishes with intense and fragrant flavors, using ingredients of rural and peasant origin. Thus, typical Roman dishes remain those made with innards and offal, and pasta recipes seasoned with sauces made from poor cuts such as pork jowl. If the first and second courses are often rustic, the cuisine of Rome reaches incomparable heights of refinement in desserts and ice creams. In short, the food in Rome is generally very good, but beware of the tourist places. Avoid all-day eateries. You need to know that the Romans eat late: they have lunch at 1:30-2 pm and dinner at 9 pm. Most authentic Roman restaurants close between lunch and dinner, and the few that offer all-day dining are tourist traps where quality is low and prices are high.
