We've decided that instead of booking a food tour, we'd like to create our own. San Francisco has a 100 things to eat list that comes out every year (http://www.chompinggrounds.com/2014/02/7x7-sfs-big-eat-list-of-100-things-to.html); we figured let's try to do that with our trip to Rome. Obviously won't be able to hit everything, but are excited about seeing options. We are interested in all types of food and all neighborhoods; hoping the list can grow to be shared for future Rome travelers! Here are some examples: sausage pizza at Pizzeria Ivo, broccoli pasta at Pipero Roma, any drink during the late day or early evening at Terrazza Caffarelli... And of course, gelato!
As for our time of travel, we arrive early on Easter Sunday, April 1 and leave at some point on April 5 (have to be in Milan for a Friday morning flight). The only thing we've scheduled is the Pristine Sistine tour Tuesday morning and will be trying for Colosseum tickets for Easter Monday (not available until 3/19 for purchase). Other than that, we have not made any other scheduled plans or tours. We've been to Milan before but this is our first time to Rome.
What would you recommend we add to the list? What has been recommended to you that you try but haven't yet?
