Brunch is a hearty buffet meal that is generally served on Sundays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The convenience of this meal is that it encapsulates breakfast and lunch with savory and sweet offerings. Brunch originated in England in the 19th century (although not under that term) and then became firmly established in the United States of America in the 1930s.
This is new in Italy; in fact, years ago it was very difficult to find a place that served Sunday brunch. Now more and more venues are offering menus for this fusion that is driving young people crazy. In the buffet we usually find dishes used for American breakfast, such as bacon, toast, scrambled eggs, waffles, and pancakes.
Here’s where you can have a good brunch in Rome:
