This guide won’t take you to the Colosseum or St. Peter’s Basilica … but it will take you to some of the best-kept secrets in the city. I’m not a tour guide, but I know food — well. So spend a day with me and we’ll walk some of the less known streets of the Eternal City. Let’s eat (and drink) well together.

Every time I return from Italy I’m lighter and more toned than when I left. Yes, I walk a great amount. Yes, I have no stress in my daily life. BUT … I eat out every day, have gelato three days in a row, and miss my daily workouts.
