Neve di Latte

Welcome to Rome! I know this city can be overwhelming, so I'm here to help! I've divided this guide in various sections (neighbourhood names). These are my favorite places to eat and drink in the Eternal City Please remember it is always best to make reservations while in Rome. If you show up to a restaurant and they are fully booked, they most likely send you away, there is no concept of waiting in line for the next table to free up in Rome (there are some exceptions like most pizza places) Tipping in restaurants is not expected, but it is always very much appreciated! Please remember that tips can only be left in cash so make sure to always have some smaller pieces on hand (it is also preferred when paying for small things like a coffee or water bottle in a bar)

Ah, Rome! The eternal city, a shimmering gem that forever enchants my heart as my first true home away from home. In the vibrant spring of 2019, I danced through the streets of Rome during my Erasmus adventure, marking a pivotal chapter in my life. It was my inaugural leap beyond the familiar borders of my home state, and in those sun-kissed days, I discovered the essence of travel that ultimately wove my path to Thatch✨ This guide is a treasure trove of the places and experiences that shaped that enchanting time, forever altering the lens through which I see the world. It’s all about forging connections with the land, the people, and the rich culture that makes travel truly authentic.
