That’s wild. I haven’t heard that stat. Though I’m very familiar with the mafia tales. It’s really sad.

So interesting and a little scarry. My husband is going to Rome in a few weeks, but he goes to vegan and vegetarian restaurants. I wonder if they have also been taken over by mafia?

As for the bagels, there's a chance they might be from a little business called, Beehive bagels, owned by a couple from the east coast USA. Hence, why they are so delicious and authentic. If it's them, the couple have been in Rome for decades but only started the bagel business during the pandemic.

Oh, unfortunately I have no idea about the vegan and vegetarian scene and whether it's also been taken over by organized crime as well 😟 and wow, you just solved a doubt of mine! I had no idea about Beehive Bagels! Well, then perhaps, the next time I'm in Rome, I will also give it a try? 😄

So funny. I've been wanting to try those bagels for years and my husband is going to Rome in few weeks- I'm hoping he brings some back to Spain. So when I randomly saw your post, I thought, hmm, I wonder-lol!
