Vatican Cuisine

Being so close to Rome, the major food style of the Vatican City is that of the Italian capital. As a rule, the residents of the Vatican consider their cooking the best in the world. You will be suggested Italian sausages, lazagna with alfredo sauce poured over it, creme brulee, Italian beans with basil, bruchetta. Not less tasty are Zuppa di pesce (a soup or stew of various fish, cooked in white wine and herbs), Cannelloni (pasta, baked with any number of stuffings), Riso col gamberi (rice with shrimp, peas, and mushrooms). There are many Pizzerias in the Vatican City. They are casual sit-down restaurants that cook large, round pizzas with very thin crusts in wood-burning ovens.
