In today’s information driven world, the oft-heard cliche “all roads lead to Rome” could be substituted with the saying “all websites lead to Rome.” Everywhere we go on the web, we see Rome this or Rome that. Some sites have entire Rome sections on where to eat, what to see, etc. Until now, our website was the exception to this rule.

Though we visited the Eternal City for a handful of rainy days in 2010, our Italian expertise was more centered around Italy’s famous food regions – think fresh pasta and ragu in Emilia-Romagna, pizza in Campania and seafood in the Veneto. We’ve eaten gelato all over Italy but more on that later.
