So many Rome regulars are trying to fill the Marigold-sized hole that was left when the beloved restaurant closed. One of the best contenders is Marzapane, which has been reborn once more.

Rome is covered in scaffolding right now. The city has been under construction for months, frustrating visitors and residents alike. Nearly every fountain, piazza, and monument has been subject to restoration- all in the name of the Jubilee. Pope Francis has declared 2025 a holy year, meaning the city can expect as many as 25 […]
