"What to eat and drink when in Rome"

In Rome, there is one thing you won’t have to worry about: being able to find a nice place to eat. From family run trattorias and pizzerias, to fancier, hip restaurants.

Roman food is a popular, yet simple one. It is not sophisticated or elaborate, but generous, rich in flavours and character, and full of many mouth-watering recipes.

The typical Roman food has its roots in the past and reflects the old traditions in most of its offering:

Carciofi alla Giudia-artichokes fried in a very special way so that they are soft and tender inside and crispy and crunchy outside. A typical food from the old jewish roman tradition. Its flavour can be exalted by a chilled Frascati white wine.

Saltimbocca alla Romana: Veal scallops cooked with white wine, sage and prosciutto .

Pizza alla Romana: thin crusted, crunchy white pizza, served brushed only with olive oil and flavoured with rosemary

Pasta cacio e pepe: pasta in a creamy olive oil, pecorino cheese and black pepper sauce

Abbacchio alla scottadito: roasted baby lamb chops served piping hot

Fiori di zucca: Zucchini flowers, deep fried and filled with mozzarella cheese and anchovies.

Filetti di baccala: a well known appetizer consisting of deep fried salted cod filet.

Suppli: breadcrumbed, fried croquettes made of rice in Bolognese sauce, filled with mozzarella cheese

Pasta alla Carbonara: famous spaghetti served in a sauce whose main ingredients are eggs, “guanciale”( bacon from pig’s cheek), black pepper and pecorino cheese.

Gnocchi alla Romana: dumplings made with semolina, baked with butter, cheese and nutmeg.

Coda alla Vaccinara: oxtail stewed until tender and buttery, in savoury tomato sauce.
