Salumeria Volpetti

Welcome to Rome! I know this city can be overwhelming, so I'm here to help! I've divided this guide in various sections (neighbourhood names). These are my favorite places to eat and drink in the Eternal City Please remember it is always best to make reservations while in Rome. If you show up to a restaurant and they are fully booked, they most likely send you away, there is no concept of waiting in line for the next table to free up in Rome (there are some exceptions like most pizza places) Tipping in restaurants is not expected, but it is always very much appreciated! Please remember that tips can only be left in cash so make sure to always have some smaller pieces on hand (it is also preferred when paying for small things like a coffee or water bottle in a bar)

It wouldn’t be a complete trip to Rome without a little shopping. Even though we have a main ‘shopping area’, there are smaller shops/boutiques spread around the city (which I much prefer to big brands!). Here is my guide to make your (shopping) life easier and hopefully you will be able to bring back home a beautiful memory of the Eternal city This guide includes a mix of food, clothing, jewellery, kitchen/house wear, and beauty/personal care (the guide is divided by categories)
