Italian Food - AMAZING ROMAN FOOD and Attractions in Rome, Italy!

Join me on this incredible Italian food tour in Rome!

Day 14 on our Round The World Trip for Food: Rome, Italy - On our very first day in Rome, we set off early in the morning to see some of the most famous attractions in Rome, including the Colosseum and the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. After doing some more sightseeing and having lunch, we had an amazing Roman food at a restaurant in Rome called Trattoria Dal Cavalier Gino.

00:37 Breakfast at the hotel - To begin the day of sightseeing in Rome, we had breakfast at the hotel, and did the final planning of the day.

2:12 Colosseum - One of the most important and well recognized attractions in Rome is the Colosseum and we arrived pretty early to get in, and I also had pre-purchased my tickets online to attempt to beat the crowds and not have to waste time waiting in line. It worked well, and as soon as the Colosseum opened, we went through security and got in. It was an amazing sight to see, especially because it was so quiet when we arrived.

3:51 Roman Forum and Palatine Hill - Locate in the same area as the Colosseum is the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill, and so that’s where we went next. Again, seeing the ancient ruins of Rome was truly spectacular.

5:48 Trattoria Luzzi - I wasn’t quite sure where to eat lunch, and located right around these famous attractions in Rome, there are a lot of expensive, and probably not so good restaurants. We decided to go check out a restaurant called Trattoria Luzzi, just down the road from the Colosseum on the opposite side of the road. I ordered Trippa Alla Romana, a Roman tripe dish and also a pasta of Amatriciana. Overall, the food was good, and it was a friendly little restaurant and the location was good. Total price - 21 EUR ($23.47).

10:31 Basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano - After lunch we headed to Basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano, a huge basilica in Rome. Right across the plaza is Scala Sancta, a small chapel with a 28 step staircase where Jesus is believed to have ascended.

13:25 Gelateria Valentino - I don’t know of anyone that goes to Rome without eating some gelato, and right around the Trevi fountain area of Rome, you’ll find a lot of gelato spots. We tried Gelateria Valentino. Gelato - 3 EUR ($3.35)

14:50 Trevi Fountain - Another one of the most iconic attractions in Rome is the Trevi fountain. We didn’t spend too much time there, but it is pretty cool to see in person.

16:25 Amazing Italian Roman food at Trattoria Dal Cavalier Gino Restaurant - For dinner, my wife and I met up with Valentina and Antonio. After walking through the amazing narrow lanes of Rome, we navigated our way to Trattoria Dal Cavalier Gino Restaurant, where they had made a reservation for dinner. The restaurant is exactly what you want in a classic Roman Italian food restaurant, a family style restaurant that offers an abundance of Roman dishes. We first started with some types of Roman pasta including cacio e pepe, and carbonara, all of which were incredible - the best pastas I’ve ever had. Then we moved on the an amazing assortment of main Italian food dishes, including veal, lamb, and so many other amazing dishes. It was an Italian food meal like I’ve never had before. Most of the dishes were Roman food style. Thank you Valentina and Antonio for the amazing dinner!

Day 14 in Rome was an amazing day of visiting some of the most famous attractions in Rome and eating some incredibly delicious Italian food!

I want to take this time to give some love to Ying. Traveling as a job may be fun, but it's also stressfull, you're always on the move. You're always away from friends and family. I know they're married, but I love how she supports Mark so much. She's always smiling and just being so positive. Mark, if you ever read this we appreciate you for your amazing vids, but we appreciate Ying too!

[BryanScottTravels]

Mark is soooo optimistic about everything! I’ve been following him for years! I’ve never heard him pessimistic or negative about anything, Mark goes out of his way to be the most positive, happy, motivating, kind, empathetic, genuine, guy who puts smiles and positivity in others lives, the world truly needs more Marks. Mark thank you for being such a positive light in such a dark world. Bless you my friend!

I laughed when the owner told him to stop talking and eat in Italian😆

[melissafields]

I love that Mark is like an ambassador of humankind!! We get to see so many cultures and watch his undeniable enjoyment of food too!!

I, like a lot of others, am lying in bed watching this at midnight with my stomach growling.

We first ate at Gino's in 2008. We feel in love with the truly authentic roman dishes and the atmosphere and have returned almost every year since. We will be returning within the week.

The skill of these chefs is unworldly. No doubt the gastronomy of the gods….

Carbonara: Pasta, guanciale, pecorino, eggs, black pepper
Aglio e Olio: Pasta, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, parsley

[Smurk]

I dont think you can beat Italy as a country in whole. The food, wine, coffee, people, history, culture, and most importantly, the views!

[evilpagan]

Italians from different regions fighting over who has „the best food“ is one of the most hilarious things in the world.

[kayprice]

My world history class follows you around the world to discover the richness of different cultures.

My favourite line in this video: "I'm just going to stop talking now and listen to the peace"

I’m a foodie and the last couple of weeks been following Asian travels and I must say, the food is amazing. Now with this video, I’m home with Italian food. Being of Italian decent, I’ve cooked and ate some of these dishes. I do cook some Asian dishes as well. Tonight I am making Pad Thai. To me, Italian food is very versatile.
