Why Eat Italy Like a Local?

For more than 40 years, I’ve explored Rome through its food — with family, friends, and countless meals around the city. My years in the Italian food business took me throughout Italy, working directly with producers and learning what makes Italian food extraordinary.

Eat Italy Like a Local brings that experience together for travelers who want more than a list of restaurants. I want to help you understand what Romans eat, how they eat, and how to find the authentic food experiences that make a trip to Rome unforgettable.
