\u201cI\u2019m having a relationship with my pizza,\u201d said Julia Roberts while eating Italian pie in \u201cEat Pray Love.\u201d That sentence sums up the connection that we \u2014 as Italians \u2014 have with food. It\u2019s not a simplification, nor a stereotype, we are obsessed with food and we care a lot about our culinary traditions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you traveling to Italy and want to feel a little bit of our love for food and try some incredible food experiences? That\u2019s what I\u2019m here for! In this post, I\u2019ll share with you what to eat and where to go for the most authentic food in Rome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Have breakfast with a maritozzo<\/h2>\n\n\n

Forget the traditional croissant. The maritozzo is on a totally different level. It\u2019s twice the size of a normal croissant and it\u2019s filled with whipped cream. It is said that the very first maritozzo was made in ancient Rome and was filled with honey and raisins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recipe has been changing over the centuries until the maritozzo that we know today, the one that we can find in coffee shops and bakeries, was born. This sweet is usually eaten for breakfast, but you can also have it as an afternoon snack and \u2014 why not? \u2014 as a dessert!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
