Any trip to the Eternal City will become a culinary one. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Amidst thousand-year-old wonders and cobblestone streets, you\u2019ll find terrific food joints in almost every Roman corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But how much should you be factoring in for food during your Roman holiday? Rome offers a myriad of eating options, from budget street food fare and trattorias to moderately priced bistros and gourmet restaurants for the occasional splurge. The cost of food per day in Rome depends on your budget, so let us show you how to plan meals out no matter what’s in your wallet.<\/p>\n\n\n

Budgeting for food in Rome<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Depending on how much you’re willing to spend and the type of holiday you\u2019re wanting to have, your food budget in Rome could greatly change. So before we get into the cost of food per day for the various types of travel styles, let\u2019s set some ground rules! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Average price of breakfast in Rome<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The first main difference in terms of cost of food in Rome begins with breakfast<\/a>. Italians tend to shoot their espressos and eat their cornetti<\/em> right at the bar. Coffee usually costs \u20ac1, a cappuccino around \u20ac1.20 and pastries are usually \u20ac1\u20132. So plan out an average of \u20ac3 for breakfast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The price changes quite a lot if, instead of having breakfast at the bar, you want to sit down and get served\u2014from \u20ac3, the price could easily skyrocket to \u20ac5\u201310 depending on where you are. Rule of thumb: the more central the bar is, the more you should expect for table service fees to rise! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This, of course, changes wildly if you\u2019re searching for breakfast buffets or a la carte options in hotels or restaurants. Breakfast in Rome\u2019s more luxurious venues can cost anywhere from \u20ac12\u201330, depending on where you are. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
