Location: Rome — The Colosseum
Nearly two thousand years old, the Colosseum has outlasted the empire that built it — and it still marks the natural starting point for any journey through Italy. Every great Italian meal begins the same way it has for centuries: with the antipasto, a small spread of bold flavors meant to open the appetite, not close it out.
From the marble counters of Rome’s salumerie to the trattoria tables spilling onto cobblestone streets near the old amphitheater, this chapter borrows the spirit of the Roman antipasto table and adapts it, dish by dish, for keto.
