"After your half-day tour of the Colosseum and Roman Forum, take a five-minute stroll to Fafiuchè for a well-deserved rest for your legs and some seriously good wine. Grab a spot outside along the cobblestones or duck inside to the snug dining room if the weather’s playing hard to get. The focus here is on quality over quantity, with a curated wine list highlighting talented Piedmontese producers and a concise menu featuring standout dishes like a velvety purée of chicory and fava beans, hearty duck lasagna, and bagna cauda. For dessert, don’t miss the bruschetta Fafiuchè: a slice of toasted bread topped with delicate shavings of cioccolato cremino, a drizzle of olive oil, and a sprinkle of sea salt." - annie replogle
