What to order in Rome, Italy, with a fun fact for each
Carbonara in Rome is famously simple but exacting, made with guanciale, pecorino romano, eggs and black pepper, and Roman chefs insist there is no cream in an authentic version.
Cacio e Pepe is Rome in a bowl, two ingredients—Pecorino Romano and black pepper—transformed with hot pasta water into a silky sauce that proves simplicity can be sublime.
Supplì are the archetypal Roman street snack, rice balls with ragù and melted mozzarella at the center, and they are nicknamed "supplì al telefono" because the cheesy pull looks like a telephone wire.
Tiramisu is a beloved Roman cafe treat, its name means "pick-me-up" and the combination of espresso-soaked ladyfingers and mascarpone makes it feel like a luxurious coffee in dessert form.
Gelato in Rome is denser and creamier than typical ice cream, artisans often churn it slower to reduce air, and many Roman gelaterie showcase daily flavors made with local, seasonal ingredients.
In Rome, cannoli are often filled to order so the shell stays crisp, and the sight of the gooey ricotta filling stretching when you bite one is part of the fun.
Espresso in Rome is a ritual as much as a drink, served quickly at the bar, its signature crema is a result of high-pressure extraction and it is often enjoyed standing up between errands.
Limoncello in Rome is usually served ice-cold in tiny glasses, its bright lemon zest infusion comes from a centuries-old southern tradition, and a homemade batch can taste wildly different from commercial versions.
Aperol Spritz is the colorful symbol of the aperitivo hour across Rome, a low-alcohol mix of Aperol, prosecco and soda that makes pre-dinner socializing feel festive and effortless.
