Taste Lazio
From Rome’s iconic pasta dishes to the food traditions of the countryside, Lazio is a region where simple ingredients carry a strong sense of place.
Explore RomeLazio is much more than its capital, but Rome is the natural place to begin.
The region’s food is shaped by pastoral traditions, agriculture, local cheeses, vegetables, cured pork and recipes that turn a small number of ingredients into deeply recognisable dishes.
Italy by Taste will expand across Lazio gradually. For launch, our complete destination coverage begins with Rome.
First Destination
Rome
Explore the four famous Roman pastas, fried street food, artichokes, traditional meat dishes, breakfast culture and neighbourhoods where food remains part of daily life.
Explore RomeA First Taste of Lazio
Some of the ingredients and dishes you will encounter as you explore the region include:
- Pecorino Romano
- Guanciale
- Artichokes
- Porchetta
- Abbacchio
- Seasonal vegetables and legumes
- Roman pasta traditions
- Local olive oils and wines
Not every item belongs exclusively to Lazio, and traditions vary across the region. That variation is exactly what we want to explore as this section grows.
Beyond Rome
Future Italy by Taste guides will take the project beyond the capital into other parts of Lazio, including food towns, countryside destinations, lakes and wine areas.
We would rather add these places slowly and properly than publish generic pages that tell you nothing you could not find anywhere else.
