I hope you slept well and are ready for a day filled with discovery and unforgettable moments here in Rome. But before we step into the Eternal City, let’s set the tone with a visit downstairs to La Serra Restaurant for a proper breakfast.\n\nLa Serra offers a bright and relaxed space to ease into the day, whether you’re fuelling up for a packed itinerary or just enjoying a moment of calm before heading out. While the Italian tradition leans toward a light breakfast of coffee and pastry, here you’ve got options to suit every appetite.\n\nIf you're after something sweet and traditional, start with homemade pastries paired with a creamy cappuccino or bold espresso. For a heartier option, order eggs your way with sides, or try a selection of cheeses and cured meats, a nod to local tastes. And of course, there’s fresh fruit, yogurt, and juices for a lighter, refreshing start.\n\nTake your time, enjoy the flavours, and get into the rhythm of the day. Once you're satisfied and energised, we’ll head out to explore the wonders of Rome, just beyond the hotel doors.\n\n","type":"text"}],"ttsFile":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FrDh2r4tfasTeBBuP7YHc%2Ftts_0.mp3?alt=media&token=f9134d92-19f9-4f35-bf4e-537175e0bca3"},{"address":"Roscioli Caffè Pasticceria","location":{"latitude":41.89418086424566,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"longitude":12.474457700000006,"longitudeDelta":0.1773310700361052},"placeId":null,"media":[{"content":{"formatted_address":"Piazza Benedetto Cairoli, 16, 00186 Roma RM, Italy","geometry":{"location":{"lat":41.8941457,"lng":12.4744403},"location_type":"ROOFTOP","viewport":{"east":12.4758066802915,"north":41.89552983029149,"south":41.8928318697085,"west":12.4731087197085}},"plus_code":{"compound_code":"VFVF+MQ Rome, Metropolitan City of Rome Capital, Italy","global_code":"8FHJVFVF+MQ"},"address_components":[{"short_name":"16","types":["street_number"],"long_name":"16"},{"long_name":"Piazza Benedetto Cairoli","short_name":"Piazza Benedetto Cairoli","types":["route"]},{"types":["locality","political"],"short_name":"Roma","long_name":"Roma"},{"long_name":"Roma","types":["administrative_area_level_3","political"],"short_name":"Roma"},{"short_name":"RM","long_name":"Città metropolitana di Roma Capitale","types":["administrative_area_level_2","political"]},{"types":["administrative_area_level_1","political"],"short_name":"Lazio","long_name":"Lazio"},{"long_name":"Italy","short_name":"IT","types":["country","political"]},{"types":["postal_code"],"short_name":"00186","long_name":"00186"}],"types":["bakery","cafe","establishment","food","point_of_interest","restaurant","store"],"place_id":"ChIJZ846zUhgLxMRzdyZ615Fc4Q","partial_match":true},"type":"place"},{"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FMCN26jo1JAk00zqYMP7P%2Froscioli%201.jpg?alt=media&token=37888a89-2475-43dd-bf72-0af18508f045","type":"img"},{"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FMCN26jo1JAk00zqYMP7P%2Froscioli%202.jpg?alt=media&token=ede70f15-4dbf-4496-8048-81fac3449c25","type":"img"},{"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FMCN26jo1JAk00zqYMP7P%2Froscioli.jpg?alt=media&token=19b64080-8654-42cd-b5bc-82318fdc47cf","type":"img"},{"content":"Welcome to Roscioli Caffè Pasticceria, a gem nestled in the heart of the city.

As you walk in, let the aroma of freshly baked cornetti and roasted coffee beans envelop you.\n\nItalian pastries have a storied history, deeply connected to regional traditions and celebrations. The maritozzo, which I highly recommend trying here, originated in Rome during the Middle Ages. Traditionally, it was a sweet bread roll given by young men to their fiancées on Valentine's Day, often with an engagement ring hidden inside. The name \"maritozzo\" comes from \"marito,\" meaning husband, reflecting its romantic origins.\n\nTake a moment to admire the display of pastries—each one is a masterpiece. Pair your maritozzo with a cappuccino for the quintessential Italian breakfast experience.

This osteria is beloved for its homemade pasta and warm hospitality.\n\nPasta is synonymous with Italian cuisine, but its origins date back to ancient times. Contrary to popular myths, pasta was present in Italy long before Marco Polo's travels. In Rome, dishes like cacio e pepe have roots in the pastoral traditions of the region. Shepherds would carry dried pasta, aged sheep's cheese (pecorino romano), and black pepper—ingredients that were easy to transport and didn't spoil.\n\nI highly recommend trying the cacio e pepe, a simple yet divine dish made with just pasta, pecorino romano cheese, and freshly ground black pepper. It's a true testament to how simplicity and high-quality ingredients create profound flavors. Pair your meal with a glass of local Frascati wine, and immerse yourself in the Italian way of savoring food—slowly and with great pleasure.\n\n","type":"text"}],"ttsFile":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FNJbxIXKpV7gR8k3Fs1ja%2Ftts_4.mp3?alt=media&token=a715dcb4-5562-434e-ae56-557916686999"},{"address":"Fatamorgana","location":{"longitudeDelta":0.1773310700361052,"latitude":41.88647106424181,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"longitude":12.469256899999985},"placeId":null,"media":[{"content":{"place_id":"ChIJkVbVdTlgLxMRL_AfGNHHWhk"},"type":"place"},{"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FMCN26jo1JAk00zqYMP7P%2Ffatamorgana.webp?alt=media&token=ea0a1d36-cb26-4342-b2f0-553b8619dee3","type":"img"},{"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FMCN26jo1JAk00zqYMP7P%2Ffatamorgana%201.jpg?alt=media&token=390b8f78-1253-421e-aefc-cb770a63b253","type":"img"},{"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FMCN26jo1JAk00zqYMP7P%2Ffatamorgana%202.webp?alt=media&token=b46f3114-8ab8-47fd-a4e7-c6bf5f9024b4","type":"img"},{"content":"Time for a sweet interlude at Fatamorgana, one of Rome's most esteemed gelaterias. Founded by Maria Agnese Spagnuolo, Fatamorgana is celebrated for its all-natural ingredients and innovative flavors.\n\nGelato, the Italian version of ice cream, has a history that stretches back to ancient times. The Romans enjoyed frozen treats made from snow and ice brought down from the mountains, mixed with honey and fruit. The modern gelato we know today was developed during the Renaissance. In the 16th century, Bernardo Buontalenti, a Florentine artist and architect, is credited with inventing gelato by adding milk and eggs to the mixture, creating a creamier texture.\n\nExplore an array of gelato options that go beyond the traditional.

A glass of Italian red or crisp white pairs perfectly with a light bite or full dinner.\n\nIf you're hungry, go for a classic Roman dish like Cacio e Pepe or Amatriciana, or enjoy a pizza cooked fresh with mozzarella and seasonal toppings.
