Loaded with thousands of years of history, perhaps it’s got a lot in common with my own city, Athens, but it’s also got a lot of differences.I’d say that an essential difference lies in the fact that all the important monuments of Rome are much better preserved, organized and presented, in comparison with the ones of Athens.

In any case, it is certainly worth sitting at a traditional restaurant and trying spaghetti and pizza properly, accompanied by a bottle of wine.In this way, you may get an idea of what the mythical Roman feasts were like, probably a few meters further than the place where you are eating, a few thousand years ago.
