A lot of restaurants in Rome use the word “brunch.” It doesn\u2019t always mean what you think it means.<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Instead of eggs Benedict and pancakes, you might find buffet tables filled with pasta salads and trays of cheeses and cured meats. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Looking for something more in line with the former than the latter? To make sure things don\u2019t get lost in translation, we’ve found the best places to have brunch in Rome. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Where to Eat the Best Brunch in Rome<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

1. Marigold<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A modern spot is just a few streets away from the ancient pyramid straddling the Testaccio and Ostiense neighborhoods, Marigold <\/a>is run by Italian-Danish team Domenico and Sophie. There’s an international flair to everything, from the menu to the staff themselves. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

On weekends, Marigold offers brunch on a first-come-first-served basis, available from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. And if you can’t make it on Saturday or Sunday, no worries. During the week, they also offer a regular breakfast menu.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

All menus at Marigold change frequently to reflect seasonality and in order to use the highest quality ingredients available. But in general, expect options like poached eggs on avocado toast, Scandinavian-style cinnamon rolls, and homemade sourdough bread with homemade butter.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
