Food & Drink in Rome
Sit outside at any Italian café to enjoy a traditional aperitif, which range from sweet Bellinis to tart Negronis.
Scoop your way through some of the best gelato in Italy at Giolitti, taking the time to enjoy all the best ingredients from around the country. Around since 1900, this is as old school as you’ll find it.
