Rome's food section carries 2 curated guides, one for restaurants and one for cafes, each with 12 verified entries. Rather than merging everything into a single dining list, the section treats restaurants and cafes as 2 separate planning tools. The split makes sense in Rome, where cafe stops and restaurant meals tend to work on different schedules. At 12 entries per guide, each is focused enough to scan quickly and specific enough to anchor a day's eating.

The 2 guides carry 12 picks each, covering both sides of Rome's food day.
