Follow for travel inspo 😍 You & me + Italy in 2025?? 🍝🇮🇹 ROME FOOD RECS👇 ☕️🥐 Breakfast- 📍 We loved the pistachio croissant, chocolate croissant, maritozzo, (brioche bun filled with whipped cream) and cappuccinos. 📍Best Western Plus Hotel Universo The breakfast at is truly the best we’ve ever had at a hotel. They had everything from a mimosa station, perfectly ripe fruit, waffles, pancakes, eggs, bacon, potatoes, Italian meats & cheeses, freshly squeezed orange juice, desserts of all kinds, a hot food bar, and a STUFF YOUR OWN CROISSANT BAR with all the delectable stuffings you could imagine... and made to order cappuccinos. 🍝🍕 Lunch/Dinner- 📍 Known for their handmade pasta with a view of the Pantheon. Their carbonara pasta is a must...10/10. We also loved their fettuccine al Ragù. 📍 This viral sandwich shop lived up to the hype. We got La Paradiso (Mortadella, cream of pistachio, stracciatella cheese with chopped pistachios) and La ‘Italiana (Prosciutto di Parma, mozzarella di bufala, tomato and Basil). 📍 Located in the charming neighborhood of Trastevere. They are known for serving carbonara in actual cooking pans! 📍 Our meals came with complimentary bread and olives. We loved the pasta amatriciana (tomato sauce, guanciale/bacon, & pecorino romano cheese). Rome is all about the pasta, but don’t skip Roman style pizza! It typically comes in rectangular slices, and usually has a thicker, crunchier crust. 🥂🍷 Apertivo- Reservations required! This spot boasts an iconic view of the Colosseum. We ordered an Aperol Spritz & Passionfruit Mocktail. Your drinks will come with a 2 tiered tray of delectable snacks. 📍Best Western Plus Hotel Universo Roof Top Best Aperol spritz we had in Rome.
