In Rome there’s a saying, una vita non basta — a single lifetime is inadequate for experiencing this city. To really do the Italian capital and its food justice, you need a trip that lasts somewhere between a month and a year. But with a big appetite and a little planning, it is possible to eat extraordinarily well in a single day.

The itinerary laid out below is ambitious at best and gout-inducing at worst, so jump on and off the carbonara train as you wish. There’s a lot of grazing, rather than full, sit-down meals, to help mitigate the sheer quantity of food. If you do hit every single spot, you’ll be grateful for the time spent walking between venues.
