Easter comes later than usual this year and with it comes warmer than average weather. This means that lucky visitors to the Eternal City during this time, will be able to take advantage of the myriad of outdoor activities available, and the small window of time where Rome is cooled by fresh spring winds, before the notorious summer sun takes full effect. This year we will again bring to you the best events to attend, places to see, culinary delights and so on.Granita
Granita is a popular summer treat beloved by adults and children alike in Italy. The origins of this icy delight are Sicilian but almost every Italian city has adopted granita in some form or fashion. Granita is basically a type of fruit slush, made from crushed ice with sugar and fruit syrups added.Cacio e Pepe
Cacio e pepe meaning cheese and pepper is a simple and quick recipe popular throughout Rome and Sicily. Though the dish requires very few ingredients, they must be of the highest quality and you should pay close attention to the process of combining the ingredients to ensure you don't end up with cheese garnished pasta.
Aperitivo - Italian Culture
If you know just a bit about Italian culture you would have heard the word 'aperitivo' some time or another. An aperitivo in its simplest sense, is a pre-dinner drink which is supposed to open the appetite, and prepare the palate for main meal to come.In Rome, an aperitivo is always accompanied by finger foods or small hors d'oeurves, but in recent times a full buffet spread consisting of pastas, meats and cheese has become extremely popular.
