Rome Unfiltered | Season 2, Episode 2

Think you know how to eat in Rome? Think again!

Why does your coffee cost more when you sit down? Should you tip at restaurants? What's a coperto, and why does your waiter never seem to bring the bill?

In this episode of Rome Unfiltered, host Walter is joined by Joanna, Barbara, and Alexis, three food-loving expats who have spent years navigating Rome's dining culture.

Together, they share their funniest restaurant misunderstandings, unexpected cultural discoveries, and practical tips for eating like a local.

From aperitivo and coffee rituals to restaurant reservations, tipping etiquette, Sunday grocery closures, and the unwritten rules of Italian dining, we explore what newcomers need to know about Roman food culture.

Whether you've just moved to Rome, are planning your move, or have lived here for years, this episode will help you understand the habits, traditions, and occasional frustrations that make eating in Rome such a unique experience.

Because in Rome, knowing what to eat is only half the story. Knowing how to eat is where things get interesting.
