Forget your eating schedule back home\u2014it’s time to immerse yourself in Roman culture by embracing local eating times.<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

All European countries have different eating schedules: northern countries tend to dine earlier while southerners grab their meals later. And time is so relative: 6 p.m. is \u201cdinner time\u201d in London yet \u201caperitivo time\u201d in Rome, which means that restaurant opening times are quite different, too, depending on where you are.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

So brush up on the eating schedule in Rome and on the must-try dishes for each meal\u2014because nobody wants to have lunch when it\u2019s still considered breakfast time!<\/p>\r\n\r\n
