Rome sandwich survival tips
- Many bakeries and market stalls close on Sunday — and markets wind down by early afternoon.
- Say 'pizza e mortazza' at any bakery to get pizza bianca filled with mortadella — the Roman lunch.
- Avoid the restaurants right on the big piazzas. Walk one street back for better food at fair prices.
- Rome's centre is also a ZTL — cameras fine unauthorised cars. Use the metro, tram or your feet.
