It tastes like authentic Italian cuisine, but doesn’t break the bank. You can get steak, pasta, and pizza for half the price in most tourist districts and in my opinion it tastes much more Italian than those same restaurants. If you want a good Itali...

Do you need a quick dinner that doesn't break the bank. PASTAEAT is THE place to go. The food is affordable and of course there is a wide range of pastas you can choose from. As a college student the price range is perfectly within the area if I want...

This is probably the most popular chain of pizza in Italy, and for good reason. The pizza tastes incredible and although primarily known for being fairly pricey, it still feels like an Italian pizza. If you want a quick bite this place is the place t...

One of my favorite gelato places. The prices are stinking cheap and the gelato tastes phenomenal. They are usually packed, but it's because they are that good. They do not tourist trap you and give you pretty good gelato.

Another cheap place to eat pasta in Rome. This place is right next to the Piazza del Popolo so after you've had your meal you can head on over the Via Del Corso to do your shopping.

This is my favorite pizza place. It is extremely cheap to eat there and it tastes incredible. If you want something extremely under your budget that tastes like Rome Zodiac is the place to go.

Obviously when in Rome you have to visit the Vatican. The museum is beautiful beyond measure and I think anyone, religious or not should see it. Of course it is packed so I am unsure if you can see the full grasp of its beauty, but it is worth the mo...

In a park just outside the city center lies Villa Doria Pamphilj. Its a quiet park far away from the crowds. It is huge and in my opinion a great place to have a run, picnic, or to just sit down and relax. I highly recommend going especially to see t...

The Piazza Venezia is an incredibly beautiful monument and place in the heart of Rome. There is not much to say about it, you'll just have to see it for yourself.

Obviously you can't go to Rome without seeing the Colosseum. It is my favorite monument in Italy and it is so much cooler in person. There's not much to say honestly, the reputation speaks for itself.

Honestly a hidden gem in Rome. The Aquduct park is home to the ancient Roman water way system. It is so intriguing to look at because they are still standing, but it is also an extremely peaceful place to sit down and relax.

This is the longest and biggest flea market in all of Rome. If you want to go thrifting this is the place to go. I usually go here and find some of the craziest things ever, for obviously a low price.
