Where to Eat in Rome's Termini Train Station

Coffee, Pastries, Panini & More

If you're coming to Italy, chances are you'll take a train at some point. And since most trips begin or end in Rome, there's a high probability you'll find yourself at Termini, the city's main train station.

One of the goals of this newsletter is to make sure you never go hungry in Italy—and that you eat well. So, I'm here to guide you to the best bites in what has become one of the country’s best train stations.
