It was 2022, and I had never travelled alone. I was working in a fine dining French restaurant for three years, and had recently moved on to start my own private dining business. I was on a journey of self discovery in my career but also in my personal life. I wanted the answer to questions like: Who am I without the people I love around me? How would I choose to fill my days when it is just me? If I am in Italy alone, and I can do anything today, what do I REALLY want to do? Well, I spent my days eating pasta and talking to Italians about their food and restaurant culture. I ate at 70 restaurants in 30 days, I tried over 90 dishes and took notes on all of it (I truly have too much energy). If this trip of self-discovery was the book “Eat, Pray, Love” it would be titled “Eat, Pasta, Again”. See below for my comprehensive guide to Rome:
