Italy is world-famous for its food, and the capital city is no exception. While in Rome, make sure to try these delicious authentic foods that the beautiful city has to offer. 

Pizza Al Taglio

Pizza is often thought of as hot, cheesy, and messy. While this is obviously delicious, the Roman style of pizza is a must-try. This style of pizza is precooked and sold by the slice, meaning you can pop in and have a fresh slice of pizza in minutes. It comes with a huge variety of toppings, so there’ll be something to suit your tastes. 

Carciofi Alla Giudia

This is a delicacy of the Roman-Jewish quarter and is essentially a deep-fried artichoke. The multi-layered leaves of the artichoke all crisp up, while the inside becomes super tender. You can find these in restaurants all over the Jewish quarter of Rome, and you’ll be very sorry to miss this delicious treat.

Gelato

Gelato is famous across Italy, but there’s something so special about finding little gelataria’s down side streets just around the corner from an ancient Roman site. Pistachio and lemon are traditional Italian flavors, and once you try you’ll see why they remain so popular.
