Compared to other countries in the world, some visitors may be disappointed to find that no restaurants are open 24/7 in Italy. What’s more, just a few instances exist of places serving food in Rome after 2AM or so. That doesn’t mean that night owls, and especially those with a sweet tooth, will be let […]

When you land in Rome, you’re usually dreaming of having meals that are traditional to the city, or even to the whole of Italy: lots of pasta, of course, as well as pizza, desserts like tiramisù or meat-based dishes like saltimbocca, Fiorentina steak, polenta and so many other delicacies.

Do you know Saint Peter’s is not the cathedral of Rome?
