When I visited Rome, I wanted a good charcuterie board. I found El Salumeria and the meats and cheeses were phenomenal! The presentation was beautiful, and the atmosphere was really cool.
La Salumeria
If you're looking for a cheap pizza place that has high-quality ingredients and tastes amazing, Mister Pizza will not disappoint. Any pizza with the prosciutto is delicious.
Such a beautiful landmark. I recommend going early morning or late night to avoid the crowds!
Trevi Fountain
Another great place for charcuterie boards! Good price and amazing taste.
Antica Salumeria
Gino's cannolis are AMAZING!! Highly, highly recommend.
Ginos Bakery
Another one of my favorite pizza spots. Super fresh taste and great service.

I recommend taking a hop on hop off bus to get around Rome or Florence easier. You can get a pass for the day and use it to travel to multiple places without having to Uber.

Great spot for fresh sandwiches and charcuterie boards.
Il Panino del Chianti
Highly recommend getting the Florence steak! Great for sharing between 2 people. Flavor and experience are unmatched.
Ristorante Braceria Auditore
If you're in Tuscany, definitely go on a wine tour. It was an amazing experience and we got to taste a variety of wines, meats, cheeses, and olive oils. Not to mention, the view was phenomenal!
Beautiful Florence landmark to check out! I recommend going during off hours to avoid crowds.
Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore
Perfect spot for a quick sweet treat! I recommend any of the chocolate flavors.
