Tripadvisor, the world's largest travel site, recently released its Travelers' Choice Best of the Best Destination Awards based on millions of reviews from travelers worldwide over the past 12 months. This year they added a new category: The Best Food Destinations and Rome is top of the list.

According to Tripadvisor, the city's piazzas, open-air markets, and historic sites are huge tourist attractions, but it's not just about tossing that coin into the Trevi Fountain. People want to sample the perfect espresso and eat gelato while walking the cobblestone streets, admiring the architecture.
