The food in Italy is definitely some of the best in the world. When in Rome, however, it is quite expensive to dine out all the time. The prices will catch up with you just like they would at home. Perhaps they might faster than home because of the value of the Euro. It is easy to prepare delicious meals for yourself. Some of them can be as simple as a ripe tomato with fresh mozzarella cheese and a chunk of rosemary bread. Once you can navigate the open air market or the supermercado you can begin cooking authentic meals in the heart of a culinary center of the world.
