Today I spent a relaxing afternoon in Trevignano, a small town on Lake Bracciano, about 40 minutes by car from Rome.

My boyfriend’s mother lives in this quaint town. The weather was beautiful so we walked around the lake for a bit and then grabbed lunch at a nearby trattoria.

Lake Bracciano.

Prosciutto e Mozzarelle di Bufala (Cured Meat and Buffalo Mozzarella Cheese).

Fiocchini di Pere e Pecorino con Aceto Balsamico (Pear and Pecorino Cheese Ravioli with Balsamic Vinegar).

Coregone alla Griglia (Grilled Freshwater Fish).

Cicoria Saltata (Sautéed Chicory).

Carciofi (Braised Artichoke).

Trevignano is an adorable town to visit for a serene oasis away from the chaos of the capital of Rome.
