Roman Coffee

If there is one thing you can't miss while in Rome, it's Roman coffee. In fact, you can't really call it just coffee,because it is more like espresso.

Gelato

Gelto  has been described as an Italian ice cream. But it is far more than ice cream. It is an Italian-born, iced dessert made from milk, sugar, and eggs. Unlike ice cream, which is mostly made from cream, it has less fat.

The main difference between gelato and ice cream is that the latter is churned at a slower speed, making it denser, creamier, and served at a warmer temperature than ice cream.
