Tasting Rome and Feasting in Florence 🇮🇹
A Food Lover's Journey
Rome, the land of gluten-filled delights pizza, pasta, gelatos, suppli, and a myriad of other tempting treats. One cannot visit Rome without indulging in a culinary adventure, exploring iconic dishes such as carbonara, amatriciana, cacio e pepe, and Trapizzino. Rome is a city that beckons you to return, time and time again, not only for its mesmerizing architecture but especially for its delectable cuisine.
On the flip side, Florence is the epitome of a city to savor a perfect Florentine steak. This enchanting, smaller city was a delightful day trip, offering a picture-perfect experience. Indulging in delicious ice cream and an array of mouthwatering culinary delights made my visit to Florence truly unforgettable.
