Since last week I wrote about some of the best savoury street food in Rome, I thought this week it would be nice to switch things over to the sweet side and talk about one of the best treats Rome has to offer: gelato. As an international student, I’ve tried my fair share of gelato in Rome, and over time I’ve collected my top 5 gelaterias for the best gelato in Rome. These spots are the result of plenty of personal “research” (yes, eating a lot of gelato) combined with recommendations from my local Roman foodie friends. When you’re in Rome, you simply have to try them for yourself!

You know I was excited to write this article. I love many things about Rome, but the food is definitely one of the biggest contributors to my happiness. Since I am a student, my budget isn’t very big, so I don’t eat out often. But with the street food in Rome, you don’t have to spend much for something to really rock your world.

There are a few street food items in Rome that are very famous, and you’ll see them a lot in the city centre. For this blog post, I thought it would be a good idea to share the most famous savoury street food items in Rome that I personally enjoy, along with the places where I think they sell the best ones. When you visit Rome, you simply have to try these foods!

Since I have a love for all things sweet, I decided a couple of months ago to set myself a new mission. I already knew that Rome is a fantastic city for those with dietary restrictions because there are plenty of great gluten and lactose free bakeries, but I was curious to see if the same held true for vegan bakeries.

I am happy to report that it does! There is a common belief that vegan pastries are not as delicious as traditional ones, but these bakeries will prove that notion wrong. In this blog post, I will share my top three vegan bakeries in Rome along with a few honourable mentions. Whether you are planning a trip to Rome or already live here, these spots are a must visit even if you are not vegan!
